Step 3

Add in the dry ingredients and whisk until you have a smooth batter

Step 4

Pour the batter into your tin and place in the oven for 55-60mins, or until a skewer comes out clean.

Step 5

Make sure your loaf is baked the whole way through, give it an extra 5mins if you're not sure

Step 6

Remove from the oven and make the drizzle by combining the sugar and lemon juice in a bowl.

Step 7

Heat for 30 seconds and stir to dissolve the sugar.

Step 8

Use a skewer to pierce holes all over the surface of the loaf. Pour over the drizzle whilst the loaf is still in the tin and leave to soak in whilst the loaf cools

Once the loaf is cool, remove from the tin. Make the glaze by combining the icing sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Pour the glaze over the loaf allowing it to drip down the edges slightly. Top with extra zest if you like!
