Lemon Cake Recipe 🍋
Hi everyone!
I wanted to share this simple yet delicious lemon cake recipe. It’s soft, light, and has a rich lemon flavour. Perfect for a cozy treat! ✨
Ingredients
3 eggs 130 g sugar 120 g melted butter (or 100 g neutral oil for an even softer texture) 150 g flour 1 packet baking powder Zest of 2 lemons + juice of 3 lemons A pinch of saltFor decoration (optional):
A little powdered sugar for dustingPreparation
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a loaf pan. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar until light and fluffy. Add the melted butter (or oil) and mix well. Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt, then gently mix. Add the lemon zest and juice, stirring until you get a smooth batter. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 30–40 minutes. Check doneness with a knife—the blade should come out clean. Once out of the oven, poke the cake with a toothpick and gently pour the syrup over it to let it soak in. Let it cool before removing from the pan. Dust with powdered sugar for a lovely finishing touch!
This cake is moist and airy cake with a bright, delicious lemon flavour. Perfect with tea or coffee! Let me know if you try it 💛

@Mya000
Hwith much is the 1 packet of baking powder in grams?
@communicativeJet616
*How
@communicativeJet616
When a recipe doesn't specify, a good rule of thumb is 2 tsp baking powder for every 150g of plain flour. So about 10g.
@Raven2711
Thank you so much, I will remember it ☺
You seem to be wonderful baker.
@communicativeJet616 Yes, a standard packet of baking powder is usually around 10-12 grams. Did you get a chance to try the recipe? 😊
@Mya000
No, not yet but have added the recipe to my list, right now I'm travelling around. I will try and let you know the outcome and will also ask doubts when I face any problem.
@communicativeJet616 I hope you're having a lovely time travelling! I’d love to hear how it turns out whenever you get a chance to try it 💛
@Mya000 Thank you,
Sure :) I will share when I try it and I can't wait to try. Have a wonderful day :)
@Mya000
Looks like a great recipe.
You can also mix powdered sugar with some lemon juice and yellow food colouring then drizzle it on top of the cake for decoration and extra lemony flavour.
@Raven2711 Thank you for the suggestion! 😊
Thankyou 😊 sounds delicious. What do you use for the syrup?
@gregariousPark1900 Oh, I made a mistake when copying the recipe, my apologies! 😊 Personally, I didn't use any syrup, but the syrup consists of mixing 60g of sugar with 60 ml of water and the juice of 1 lemon. Heat it until the sugar dissolves completely. It’s a simple sweet liquid that you pour over the cake while it’s still warm to let it soak in. Let me know if you try it!
@Mya000
Oh thank you for the clarification 😅 I was wondering what type of syrup it is and about to ask you and then saw your answer here.
@communicativeJet616 Haha, perfect timing then! You're very welcome!
Sounds so yum I’m gonna try it when I have lemons I’ll let you know how it goes 💛
