Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sweetened condensed milk until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, incorporating well after each addition.
  4. Add the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest, mixing until fully combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Drizzling
  1. Once the cake has cooled, prepare the drizzle by mixing together the condensed milk and lemon juice.
  2. Drizzle the mixture over the cooled cake, allowing it to soak in.
