I haven't posted in a while because I've been quite busy recently and every time that I sat down to post I would get distracted or something would come up. Since I now have my summer holidays I will try and post at least once or twice a week :)
Today I will be giving you guys the recipe and method you will need to make this gorgeous Lemon Drizzle Cake!!
Ingredients:
Sponge:
3 eggs
170g self raising flour
170g caster sugar
170g butter
1 tspoon baking powder
2 lemons (zest)
Drizzle:
110g icing sugar
3 lemons (juice)
Method:
1 - Mix the eggs, flour, sugar, butter, baking powder and the zest of 2 lemons using an electrical whisk or wooden spoon. Your mixture should be stiff but creamy.
2 - Grease a loaf tin and pour the mixture in.Bake in the oven at 180 degrees (gas mark 4) for 30 - 45 minutes.
3 - After the loaf has cooked stick a skewer into the cake and if it comes out clean it is ready to take out of the oven.
4 - To make the drizzle you will need to mix together the icing sugar and the lemon juice. This mixture should be watering as it is a drizzle not an icing. If you do think that the drizzle is too thick you can add a splash of water and continue to mix.
5 - Whilst your cake is still hot poke holes throughout and pour the drizzle all over.
This cake is so easy to make and a really tasty treat!!! It's great for those summer picnics or maybe even just a day in the garden!!
