Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Make the Cake Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. If the mixture looks a little curdled, don’t worry—just continue mixing.
Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and finish with the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
