Lemon loaf

Preheat oven to 160°C/140°C fan forced. Grease and line a 19x9cm (base measurement) loaf pan with baking paper, extending paper at long sides for handles.

Using an electric mixer, beat 125g butter and 2/3 cup sugar until pale and creamy. Add eggs, one by one, beating well after each addition.

Stir in 3/4 cup plain flour, the self-raising flour, milk, half the zest and the juice until just combined. Spoon into prepared pan; smooth surface.

Place extra sugar, extra flour, remaining zest and the almonds in a medium bowl. Using fingertips, rub in extra butter to make coarse crumbs. Scatter mixture over top of cake mixture.

Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a skewer inserted at centre comes out clean. Cool in pan for 5 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Dust with icing sugar and slice to serve.
