  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 2 large eggs
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
Baking Needs
  • 1 baking grease For greasing the baking pan

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. In another bowl, whisk together melted butter, milk, eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently stir until blended, ensuring lumps remain.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch round baking pan.
  2. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Let it cool for about 15 minutes in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack.

Notes

Batter may appear lumpy, which is fine. Consider serving with whipped cream, powdered sugar, or blueberries for a delicious twist.
