This lemon curd cake is simple to make and incredibly moist. In order to make packing a lunch or going on a picnic easier, I also occasionally bake them in muffin tins. Wrapped in aluminum foil and greaseproof paper, it keeps nicely for a few days.

Ingredients
- 5 ounces self-rising flour
- 4 ounces white sugar
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons lemon curd (heaped tablespoons)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons superfine sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Combine flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and lemon curd in a bowl or food processor. Mix well. Place into the prepared pan.
- Bake in the center of the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean, 60 to 90 minutes.
- Blend lemon juice, white sugar, and lemon zest together in a bowl while cake is baking.
- Let cake cool in the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the lemon-sugar topping over the warm cake to let soak. Allow to cool, about 30 minutes. Turn cake out of the pan.
- Feel free to substitute margarine for butter, if desired.
- This recipe can be used to make cupcakes as well (makes about 16 to 18 cupcakes). Reduce baking time for cupcakes to about 45 minutes.

Nice recipe, looks good and tastes good, i reduced cooking time and temperature due to having a fan oven.
Very delicious! The only thing I had to adjust was the bake time- I used a copper loaf pan and the cake was done in about 45-50 minutes. Also I added 1 1/2 cups of fresh blueberries to the batter before baking
It was very dense. It tasted good, and was super easy to make. Just that it was a very dense pound cake.
