Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, white sugar, softened butter, beaten eggs, and lemon curd. Mix until just combined; do not overmix. Alternatively, use a food processor, pulsing until the batter comes together. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading evenly. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Bake in the center of the preheated oven for 60 to 90 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top of the cake starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with aluminum foil. (60-90 minutes)

05

Step

While the cake is baking, prepare the lemon-sugar glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, superfine sugar, and lemon zest until the sugar is dissolved. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Once the cake is out of the oven, let it cool in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes. Then, gently poke holes all over the top of the warm cake with a toothpick or skewer. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Pour the lemon-sugar glaze evenly over the warm cake, allowing it to soak into the holes. Let the cake cool completely in the pan, about 30 minutes. (30 minutes)

08

Step

Using the parchment paper overhang, carefully lift the cake out of the pan. Slice and serve. Enjoy! (5 minutes)

For an extra burst of lemon flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of lemon extract to the batter.
If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
To ensure the butter is properly softened, leave it at room temperature for about 30 minutes before using.
The cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
