Lemon Curd Pound Cake
Ingredients
  • 5 ounces self-rising flour
  • 4 ounces white sugar
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons lemon curd (heaped tablespoons)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons superfine sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Instructions
1
Heat your oven to its highest temperature setting, which is 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Prepare a loaf pan by covering it with parchment paper to prevent the cake from sticking.
3
Mix together flour, sugar, softened butter, eggs, and lemon curd in a bowl or using the pulse function of a food processor. Ensure everything is well incorporated.
4
Place the cake mixture into the prepared loaf pan and bake it in the center of your preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, taking anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes.
5
While your cake is baking, combine lemon juice, white sugar, and lemon zest in a separate bowl. Mix these ingredients together until they form a smooth paste.
6
Allow the cake to cool in its pan for 2-3 minutes. Then, pour the lemon-sugar topping over the warm cake to let it absorb the flavors.
7
Finally, let the cake cool completely, about 30 minutes. Once cooled, carefully remove it from its pan and serve.
