Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter
• ¹⁄₂ cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₄ cup Milk
• 1 cup Mixed dried fruit
• ¹⁄₂ cup Powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a square baking pan.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir in the mixed dried fruit.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. While the cake is baking, prepare the lemon icing by whisking together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl.
7. Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the lemon icing over the top. Allow the icing to set for 20-30 minutes before slicing and serving.
