Ingredients:
- 200g granulated sugar
- 2 tsp. fresh lemon zest
- Juice of 2 lemons (divided)
- 4 large eggs
- 180g all-purpose flour
- 1 pinch of salt
- 220g unsalted butter (melted)
- 100g icing sugar (for frosting)
Preparation:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Zest and juice the lemons. In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs and half of the lemon juice. In a separate bowl, mix the sugar with the lemon zest until fragrant. Add the flour, salt, and melted butter to the sugar mixture, then gently fold in the egg and lemon combination until smooth. Pour the batter into a buttered and lined square baking pan and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely. For the frosting, gradually mix the remaining lemon juice with the icing sugar until you achieve a thick, spreadable consistency. Pour the frosting over the cooled cake, spreading it evenly. Allow the frosting to set before slicing. Your tangy, buttery Lemon Lush Cake is ready to serve!
Enjoy this perfect balance of sweetness and citrus, ideal for any occasion!
