Zesty Lemon Drizzle Cake vs Classic Black and White Cookie

Both desserts begin by creaming butter and sugar, then rely on egg, milk and baking powder for a leavened crumb, but they take that shared base in different directions. The lemon drizzle cake folds lemon zest into the batter and, straight from the oven, is pierced and soaked with a sharp lemon-juice and sugar drizzle, giving it a sticky, tangy top. The black and white cookies bake until lightly golden at the edges and set in the center, then get two smooth glazes, one vanilla and one cocoa, so their character comes from sweet, contrasting icing rather than citrus.
