Lemon Loaf

• servings: 12 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups self-rising flour (gluten-free, if necessary)

1 cup superfine sugar (caster sugar * See notes)

1 teaspoon baking powder

2/3 cup water

6 1/2 tablespoons oil

1 lemon (juiced and zested)

3/4 cup powdered sugar (confectioners's sugar/icing sugar)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Line a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, add the self-rising flour, baking powder and superfine sugar/caster sugar, and mix well. Add your lemon zest, water, oil and lemon juice, and mix well, until a smooth batter remains.

Transfer the batter to the lined loaf pan and bake for 40 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, glaze the loaf and slice.

To make the glaze, combine your powdered sugar with either 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice, milk or water, until desired texture remains.
