Project #1 - Lemon 'Get what you want' Cake

My first "real" post, man, I am more than exicted!

I got the recipe from the book "Meet me at the Cupcake Café" by Jenny Colgan.
I really loved the book, and because I was looking for a good lemon cake for quite some time a had a try... And I´m lovin it :)

I changed the recipe a little bit, mostly because it is imperial and since I am living in austria I am used to metric.

So here it is:

For the cake:
115g flour
2 tsps baking powder
115g softend butter
115g caster sugar
2 large eggs
zest of one lemon
juice of one lemon (Since not every lemon has an exact size feel free to tast your mixture and maybe add a little zest or juice)

For the icing:
55g icing sugar
2 tsps water
1 tsp lemon juice

Preheat oven to 165°C.
Mix the flour with the baking powder. Then add all the other ingredients and beat well.
Spoon into a greased loaf tin.
Bake for about 20 minutes. The cake should still be yellow, not brown, but there should not be dough on your stick if you but it inside.
For the icing mix all the ingredients together and apply to your cake while it´s still warm. This way the icing will ooze into the cake and it will taste even better.
Enjoy!
