   Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice.

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

6. 6

   Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

7. 7

   Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

   Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

   Once the cake is cool, you can drizzle it with a simple lemon glaze if desired. To make the glaze, mix together 1/2 cup of powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth, then drizzle over the cake.
