Preparation time: 10 minutes
Baking time: 45 minutes

Difficulty: Easy

Chef's Note

Ideal with a cup of tea

Ingredients

- 310 ml (1 1/4 cups) all-purpose flour

- 1 tsp. baking powder

- 125 ml (1/2 cup) sugar

- A pinch of salt

- 2 beaten eggs

- 125 ml (1/2 cup) softened butter

- 125 ml (1/2 cup) milk

- Grated zest of 1 lemon

Glaze

- Juice of 1 lemon

- 2 tbsp. honey

- 125 ml (1/2 cup) hot water

Method

Combine all the ingredients from the first part - begin with the eggs and sugar; add the milk; finish with the dry ingredients;
pour into a buttered loaf pan;
bake in a preheated 180° C (350° F) oven for 30-45 minutes depending on the shape and height of the pan;
remove from the oven once the bread is nicely browned; insert a skewer into the center: if it comes out clean, the bread is done;
dissolve the honey in the hot water; add the lemon juice;
place the bread on a rack set over a pan; drizzle it with the glaze;
slice the bread and serve on its own, with whipped cream or a cinnamon-flavored mango coulis.
