Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups sugar
- zest of 1/2 small lemon
- 1 stick of butter
- 1 egg
- 1 ¼ cups flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ cup milk
- 2 tsp almond extract
- ¼ cup almond slithers optional
- 1-2 tbsp powdered sugar optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line a 2 lb loaf pan with cooking spray and baking parchment.
- Measure the sugar and zest into a large bowl. Using your fingertips, rub the zest into the sugar to release the oils.
- Add the butter and using a hand mixer mix until the butter and sugar are combined, light and fluffy. Then add the egg and mix until smooth.
- Add the flour, baking powder and salt, and fold in with a rubber spatula. Then fold in the milk and almond extract, mixing until you have only just achieved a smooth batter.
- Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Drop it from about an inch above the counter a few times to knock out any extra air bubbles. Sprinkle over the almond slithers, if using.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
- As soon as the tin is cool enough to touch transfer the cake out onto a cooling rack to cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar, if liked.
