Coconut sugar is a less processed alternative.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour a loaf pan.

In a bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in lemon zest and lemon juice until combined.

In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the glaze, mix powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth and drizzle over the cooled cake.

Garnish with fresh lemon slices before serving.
