Lemon Loaf Cake

A plain tea cake like the pound or butter cake was traditionally a part of the Parsi teatime treats. I have chosen to add this moist lemon cake instead. It’s a cake that can be prepared without electric mixers, beaters, or food processors—if need be. Use a whisk or a metal spoon to mix and fold.

The cake tastes delicious when it is freshly baked or warm—without adding syrup or any icing. The addition of the syrup makes it moist and tangier, and it will help it stay fresh for longer.
