• Beat in the eggs, lemon zest and the vanilla. Slowly whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
• Fold in the oil, using a rubber spatula, making sure to get it all in smoothly. Pour into the loaf tin. Level off and then place on a centre rack in the heated oven.
• Bake for about 50 minutes, or until well risen and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
• Whhile it is baking, heat the lemon juice and sugar for the glaze together until the sugar is completely dissolved.
