Ingredients
- 100 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 3 units large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 50 milliliters low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with a small amount of butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the low-fat milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing just until combined after each addition.
Step 6
Fold in the lemon zest gently using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 9
Once baked, remove the loaf cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy this lighter take on a classic all-butter loaf cake!
