Hi guys
So it's been a while since I have posted, this is because of the lack of internet connection and illness I've had recently, but I'm back and I've been cooking up a storm, so I can share the recipes with you!
So today this post is about a British classic, the Lemon Drizzle Cake. I personally don't like lemons but a lot of my family does. Lets get started!!!
What Do I Need?
- 8 x 21 cm loaf tin
- 225g unsalted softened butter
- 225g Caster sugar
- 4 eggs
- 225g Self Raising Flour
- finely grated zest of 1 lemon
- 85g Caster Sugar
- 1 1/2 juice of 2 lemons
What Do I Do?
- Heat the oven to 180c. Grease the loaf tin and line with grease proof paper. Beat together the butter and sugar until its light and fluffy. Then add the 4 eggs one by one, stirring in between each egg.
- Sieve in the flour and add the zest and mix together until combined.
- Pour the cake mixture into the loaf tin and level the top with a spoon. Then place in the oven for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the cake is cooling in the tin, mix together the caster sugar and lemon juice and then pour over the cake to taste. Leave in the tin until completely cool before serving. Your cake may develop a crusty layer on the top, that's fine, it's the sugar.
- Enjoy your cake!
