Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar and lemon zest. Use your fingers to rub the zest into the sugar to release the oils.
4. Using a mixer, beat the softened butter and lemon sugar mixture until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Stir in the fresh lemon juice until evenly incorporated into the batter.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
8. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and enough lemon juice to create a smooth, pourable consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
11. Slice and serve your delicious Zesty Lemon Bliss Cake!
Enjoy this delightful citrusy treat!
