Ingredients

225 g cream cheese, softened
120 ml shortening
300 g white sugar
3 eggs
280 g all-purpose flour, unsifted
240 ml milk
30 g grated lemon zest
15 g baking powder
5 g salt
70 g white sugar
60 ml lemon juice

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 175°C. Grease a large fluted tube pan (Bundt pan).
Step 2
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to blend cream cheese and shortening until creamy. Beat in sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour, milk, lemon zest, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low speed just until thoroughly blended, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally. Pour into the prepared pan.
Step 3
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 4
While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by mixing together sugar and lemon juice until the sugar is dissolved.
Step 5
Remove the cake from the oven. Pour the glaze over the hot cake, allowing it to run down the edges between the cake and the pan. Cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
