This is a very simple Lemon Drizzle Cake with a fantastic mouth-watering flavor and fluffy texture. It’s soaked with sweet and sour lemon drizzle, and it makes the cake incredibly moist. I can’t wait to make it again!

How to make Lemon Drizzle Cake?

1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
   In a mixing bowl, mix together 3 eggs, 6 oz self-rising flour, 6 oz granulated sugar, 6 oz softened unsalted butter, and freshly grated lemon zest from 2 lemons using an electric mixer. Beat until combined. The lemon cake batter should be creamy.
2. Butter and line an 8×4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper (leave some paper hanging on two sides, it will help to remove the lemon drizzle cake from the loaf pan). Transfer the lemon cake batter to the prepared loaf pan. Spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until golden and ready. Check the readiness of the lemon drizzle cake using a toothpick inserted in the center, if it comes out clean – the cake is ready.
   
3. While the lemon drizzle cake is baking, you can prepare the lemon drizzle. In a bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1 cup powdered sugar until thicken and smooth.
4. Remove the loaf pan from the oven. Poke holes all over the lemon cake using a skewer.
5. Evenly pour the lemon drizzle over the lemon cake. Let the lemon drizzle cake cool slightly. Then, remove the lemon drizzle cake from the loaf pan using hanging parchment paper. Slice and enjoy it!

Freeze lemon drizzle cake;

You can freeze this Lemon Drizzle Cake, but I recommend freezing it without the lemon drizzle. Just bake the lemon drizzle cake and let it cool completely before freezing.

To freeze, wrap the cake with plastic wrap or aluminum foil in a double layer (or place in an airtight container).

How to store lemon drizzle cake?

You can store lemon drizzle cake for up to 5 days at room temperature and for up to 3 months in the freezer. To keep it moist and soft, I recommend storing the lemon drizzle cake wrapped with plastic wrap or placed in an airtight container.
