How To Make eggless lemon cake

  • 1
    Line a loaf tin with greaseproof paper, and preheat the oven to 180c.
  • 2
    Stir together the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in a large bowl.
  • 3
    Add the milk, oil, golden syrup and vanilla extract to the bowl. Fold everything together.
  • 4
    Add in the juice and zest of one lemon and combine. You might notice the mixture start to bubble, which is normal.
  • 5
    Pour the mixture into a baking tin, and bake for approximately 35 minutes or until golden brown and a skewer comes out clean. Leave the cake to cool on a wire rack.
  • 6
    Once the cake has cooled, make the icing by sieving the icing sugar into a bowl and mixing with the lemon juice. It should be quite thick in consistency. Pour the icing over the cake and let it drip down the sides.
