Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 14 ounces (1 can) sweetened condensed milk
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1 1/4 cups self-rising flour

Here's how to make it: 

1. Whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice in a mixing bowl. (For even more lemon flavor, stir 3 to 4 teaspoons of lemon zest into the batter. Grate the lemon on a fine grater or microplane. Fresh is always best when it comes to lemon juice, so squeeze your own if you can. In a pinch, use bottled lemon juice.)
2. Add the flour and stir until just combined. 
3. Pour the batter into a 9x5-inch loaf pan that's been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray and lined with parchment paper. 
4. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove and cool completely before slicing. 
5. If you want to top the cake with a glaze, here's how to make a basic powdered sugar glaze. Store the cake in an airtight container to keep it fresh.
