I found this recipe in a magazine and had been wanting to make it for some time. I had the perfect opportunity when having afternoon tea with my sister - it was a big hit!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs
3/4 cup caster sugar
125g butter, at room temperature, chopped
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 lemon, rind finely grated
Vanilla Glaze:
1 cup icing sugar, sifted
30g butter, melted
2 tablespoons boiling water
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Method:
Preheat oven to 170 degrees, or 150 fan-forced. Grease and line an 11cm x 23cm loaf pan.
Sift together the flour and baking powder. Place eggs and caster sugar into a food processor and process until pale. Add butter and process until thick and creamy. Add buttermilk and rind, and pulse until combined. Add flour mixture and pulse until a batter forms.
Fill prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes. Cool in pan for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, make Vanilla Glaze - combine all ingredients in a bowl until smooth.
Remove cake from pan and brush glaze over cake. Cool cake completely on a wire rack, then serve.
