Since the cake is really very fast and easy to make, you can pre-heat your oven to 180 C before you even start making the cake, and grease your loaf baking tin with butter…<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lcake1-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n… and dust it with some flour to ensure your cake won’t stick to the tin.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lcake2-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nSift the flour (optional)…<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lcake3-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n…add baking powder…<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lcake4-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n…and sugar, and mix it in.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lcake5-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nAdd the butter (it must be soft…)<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lcake6-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n… and eggs…<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lcake7-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n… and vanilla extract (optional)….<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lcake8-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n… and start mixing everything together until smooth, and no chunks of butter are left. At the beginning, it could look like it’s not going to come together, so it might take up to 8 to 10 minutes of mixing – but please just keep at it, and it will turn out just fine…<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lcake9-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n…like this.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lcake10-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nAt this stage, add the lemon zest…<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lcake11-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n…and mix it in.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lcake12-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nNow, transfer the batter into a baking tin.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lcake13-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nTime to use the lemon curd. I don’t have the full jar here – it’s about 3\/4 of the jar, a leftover from making the lemon cream. You can use as much of it as you want – a full jar, a bit less, half of it, etc. You can put all of it into the cake, or leave a little to serve the cake with.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nNow, it’s the fun part! \ud83d\ude42 Just take up nice little dollops of the lemon curd…<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lcake15-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n…with a spoon…<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lcake16-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n… and just swirl it inside the batter through the top.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lcake17-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nYou can create patterns, you can put some dollops well inside and leave some of them on the surface – it’s up to you.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lcake18-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nBake the cake at 180 C for about 25 minutes – just until there’s a little bit of a wobble, but it’s gone golden brown over the top.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/lcake19-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nWhile the cake is cooking, you can put the leftover lemon curd and some whipped cream on a dish, ready to serve the cake with. When the cake is ready, just take some out with a spoon (it’s very soft) and place on a plate. You can see what the cake looks like inside. Enjoy! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
