Ingredients

servings:

4 ounces butter (softened)
3 ounces cream cheese
1/2 vanilla pod (seeds scraped out)
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 2/3 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 lemon (grated zest)
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons 1% milk

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease an 8 inch diameter springform pan. Beat the butter, cream cheese, vanilla seeds and sugar with the whisk of a mixer until creamy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Mix the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt together and beat in along with the lemon juice and zest. Spoon into the pan and smooth out. Bake for 45-50 mins, until a skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool.
Sift the powdered sugar into a bowl and stir in enough milk to make a smooth icing. Turn the cake out of the pan and spread over the icing, allowing it to drizzle down the sides. Allow to dry.
