Simple Lemon Cake Draft

How I make it

1. Put all the cake ingredients (not the glaze) in a food processor and blend well until smooth.

2. Pour into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper, or greased and floured.

3. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 50-60 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

4. Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes.

5. Meanwhile, mix the lemon juice and sugar and microwave for 1 minute.

6. Move the cake to a platter and poke about 30 deep holes in it with a chopstick or similar.

7. Spoon the glaze over the cake so it has time to soak in instead of running off to the bottom.

8. Let the cake cool completely, then slice and serve.

What I've learned

• When I want the cake parve (dairy-free), I swap the milk for orange juice.
• I spoon the glaze on slowly rather than pouring it all at once, so it soaks in instead of running off.
