Ingredients
  

For the Cake:

  • 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

For the Glaze:

  • 25 g Icing Sugar
  • 1 tbs Lemon Juice
  • Pistachios For Garnish

Instructions
 

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