Description

This Lemon Thyme Cake is a delightful combination of flavors that will brighten up your day. Perfectly moist and rich, it’s topped with a sweet lemon drizzle.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (226g)
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar (300g)
  • 3 large eggs
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (30ml)
  • 1 cup milk (240ml)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
  • 2 tsp baking powder (8g)
  • 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves (6g)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (120g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until golden brown, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and avoid overmixing.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. For the drizzle, mix powdered sugar with lemon juice in a small bowl. Once the cake has cooled slightly but is still warm, pour the drizzle over it.

Notes

  • Make sure to avoid overmixing the batter to ensure a light and fluffy texture.
  • This cake can be served warm or at room temperature.
