-
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
-
In another bowl, add the lemon zest and sugar; beat for about 2 minutes to release the lemon oils into the sugar. Add the butter and beat until well combined.
-
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition then add the vanilla extract, lemon juice and olive oil. Mix until well combined, scraping the sides as needed.
-
Add the flour mixture a little at a time until just barely combined. Do not over-mix. Using a wooden spoon, stir the Banks Beer into the batter until just combined.
-
Pour into prepared loaf pan and bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until the top turns a light golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
-
Make the glaze: mix all the glaze ingredients together to form a thick paste. Spread paste over top of cooled cake and chill until set.
