- Ingredients
- soft butter (for the pan)
- Pastry flour (for the pan)
- 2 organic lemons
- 150 grams Pastry flour
- 150 grams cornstarch
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 250 grams butter
- 5 eggs
- 225 grams sugar
- powdered sugar (for dusting)
Preparation
1.
Preheat the oven to 160°C (approximately 325°F). Grease the loaf pan with butter and sprinkle with flour.
2.
Zest the lemon and squeeze the juice. Mix the flour with the cornstarch and baking powder in a bowl mix. Melt the butter in a small saucepan.
3.
Break the egg into a mixing bowl and beat until fluffy with an electric mixer. Add the lemon juice and zest. Alternately, add the melted butter and the flour mixture and stir into the custard until a supple, smooth batter is formed. Pour batter into the loaf pan and bake until golden brown (and an inserted toothpick comes out clean), about 1 hour.
4.
Remove from oven and let cool.
5.
To serve, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
