Preparation Steps
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in lemon zest and juice.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
You can add a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and lemon juice for an extra lemony touch.
