Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Measure ingredients into bowls. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Combine 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar and butter in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until creamy and pale. Add 1 egg at a time, beating until the batter returns to a uniform pale color before adding the next. Sift in flour gradually. Fold with a wooden spoon to be sure flour is combined. Add baking powder and lemon zest.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan, being careful not to press it down.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Try not to open the oven door early to avoid collapsing the fluffy cake.
- Juice the zested lemon into a small bowl. Add the zest and juice of the second lemon. Stir in 7 tablespoons sugar until dissolved. Pour glaze over the warm cake and leave to cool in the pan; glaze will harden as the cake cools.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 F, 175 C or Gas mark 3.
- Grease and line a 2 lb loaf tin or round cake tin.
- Put all the cake ingredients together into a large bowl & mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon and then a hand held mixer for a maximum of 3 minutes.

- On removing the cake from the oven, pierce all over the top with a fine skewer or fork - keeping the cake in the tin.

Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cake batter come together more smoothly and evenly.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough and dense. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool completely before drizzling with the lemon glaze: This will help the glaze set properly and prevent it from soaking into the cake.
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature: The cake will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
