This lemon curd cake is very moist and easy to make. I also sometimes bake them in muffin tins to make it easy for a packed lunch or picnic. Keeps well for a few days if wrapped in grease-proof paper and aluminum foil.
Ingredients
- 5 ounces self-rising flour
- 4 ounces white sugar
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 2 eggs , beaten

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

Bake in the center of the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean, 60 to 90 minutes.

Blend lemon juice, white sugar, and lemon zest together in a bowl while cake is baking.

Let cake cool in the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the lemon-sugar topping over the warm cake to let soak. Allow to cool, about 30 minutes. Turn cake out of the pan.
