📝 Ingredients

• 165 g Maida / All Purpose Flour
• 100 g Sugar
• 1 tsp Lemon Zest
• 1/2 tsp Instant Yeast
• 3 tbs Lemon Juice
• 250 ml Milk
• 50 ml Coconut Oil
• 25 g Icing Sugar

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1In a bowl, mix together flour, sugar, yeast and lemon zest.
2. 2Add in oil, milk and lemon juice and mix to form a thick batter.
3. 3Cover with cling film and set aside for one hour or two hours until the batter is double in volume.
4. 4Remove the cling wrap, give the batter a nice stir to inflate it.
5. 5Grease, line and dust a pudding dish or a 6" cake tin.
6. 6Transfer batter to the prepared tin and cover with cling film.
7. 7Preheat oven to 150°C.
8. 8Let the batter prove for 20 minutes while the oven is preheating.
9. 9Remove the cling film and bake the cake for 40 - 50 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted comes out clean.
10. 10Remove the tin from oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.
11. 11Flip the cake on a board and remove the lining paper.
12. 12Top the cake with some lemon juice. The cake will absorb the juice and the flavour would be intense.
13. 13Mix together icing sugar and lemon juice to make a smooth drizzle.
14. 14Drizzle it on top of the cake and sprinkle lemon zest on it. Add some chopped pistachios in the centre and allow the cake to cool completely.
15. 15Slice it into wedges and serve.
