Zesty Lemon Drizzle Cake vs Eierkuchen (German Pancakes)

Both dishes draw on milk, sugar, butter and egg, but put them to very different work. The lemon drizzle cake creams butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, then bakes a risen loaf lifted by self-raising flour and baking powder, with lemon zest in the batter and a sharp lemon-sugar drizzle soaked into the warm cake for a sticky top. Eierkuchen lean on milk instead, whisked into a thin, rested batter and fried in butter into thin, tender pancakes with golden, slightly crisp edges, finished with extra sugar at the table.
