Exquisite Glazed Lemon Cake

Ingredients:

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup milk
• Zest of 2 lemons
• Juice of 1 lemon

For the frosting:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• Juice of 1-2 lemons (adjust to desired consistency)

Preparation:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and generously grease a pie plate.
2. In a large bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt, ensuring an even mix of dry ingredients.
3. In another bowl, beat the granulated sugar and eggs until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4. Gradually add the vegetable oil to the sugar and egg mixture, continuing to beat until well combined.
5. Alternately add the sifted dry ingredients and milk to the wet mixture, ensuring thorough mixing after each addition until a smooth batter forms.
6. Fold in the lemon zest and juice, infusing the batter with vibrant citrus flavors.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared pie plate, smoothing the surface evenly.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
9. While the cake cools, prepare the frosting by whisking together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until you achieve the desired consistency – thick enough to adhere to the cake yet fluid enough to spread smoothly.
10. Once the cake has cooled completely, generously pour the frosting over the top, allowing it to elegantly cascade down the sides.
11. Allow the frosting to set before slicing and serving the cake, presenting a visually appealing finish.
12. Optionally, garnish with additional lemon zest for an extra burst of citrus aroma and flavor.
13. Indulge in the delightful and invigorating taste of this Frosted Lemon Cake, perfect for any occasion!
