Follow these simple steps to create Paul Hollywood’s Lemon Bliss Cake:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a round cake tin with parchment paper.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure everything is fully combined.
4. Sift in Dry Ingredients: Sift the self-raising flour and baking powder into the bowl. Then fold gently until just incorporated.
5. Incorporate Lemon: Add the lemon zest and juice to the mixture. Stir and add the milk to achieve a smooth batter.
6. Pour into the Tin: Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7. Bake: Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. It’s done when a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Prepare the Glaze: While the cake cools, mix the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a bowl to create a smooth glaze.
10. Glaze the Cake: Once the cake is completely cool, pour the lemon glaze over the top, allowing it to dribble down the sides.
11. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle some lemon zest over the glaze for an extra pop of flavor and color.

These guidelines will help you create Paul Hollywood’s Lemon Bliss Cake seamlessly, ensuring you achieve the amazing lemony delight as intended.
