Easy Lemon Loaf

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

Prepare a 1.5L loaf pan (8 by 4.5 inches) by lining it with parchment paper. Set aside.

With a mixer cream together the butter and sugar.

Add in the eggs, 1 at a time.

In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt.

Add 1/2 of the flour mix to the butter mix.

Then add 1/2 of the milk.

Add the remaining flour mix.

Mix in the remaining milk and lemon zest.

Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.

In the mean time, combine the juice from 1 lemon with 1/4 cup sugar.

When the cake is done baking, take it out of the oven, and pierce holes in it with a knife - make sure to get to the bottom of the loaf so the lemon juice mixture can get right down into the cake. Pour lemon juice/sugar mix over warm cake.

Let sit. This cake is even better the next day.

Enjoy!
