Ingredients

For the Cake:

• 1 cup self-rising flour
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup fat-free sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tbsp light butter, melted
• Juice and zest of 1 medium lemon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Drizzle:

• 3 tbsp powdered sugar
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line with parchment paper.

2. Mix the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, condensed milk, melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Gradually fold in the self-rising flour until just combined—do not overmix.

3. Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

4. Cool and Drizzle
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar and lemon juice to make the drizzle. Spoon or brush over the slightly warm cake for a glossy, tangy finish.

5. Serve
Slice and enjoy on its own or with a dollop of light whipped topping or fresh berries.

Tips for Success

• Use Fresh Lemon: Bottled juice just doesn’t deliver the same brightness.
• Don’t Overbake: Moisture is key—pull it once the center is just set.
• Add Poppy Seeds: For a fun twist, mix in 1 tbsp of poppy seeds.
• Store Smart: Wrap tightly and store in the fridge for up to 5 days—flavor gets better with time.
