Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

• Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Cream Sugar and Butter

• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.

Step 3: Add Eggs and Flavor

• Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

• Stir in lemon zest and lemon juice until fully incorporated.

Step 4: Add Dry Ingredients

• In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until smooth, but be careful not to overmix.

Step 5: Bake the Cake

• Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

• Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 6: Prepare the Glaze

• While the cake is cooling, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.

Step 7: Drizzle and Serve

• Once the cake has cooled slightly, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top.

• Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving
