Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups self-rising flour (gluten-free, if necessary)
- 1 cup superfine sugar (caster sugar)
- 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)
Instructions
- 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.
