Lemon Drizzle Cake

This weekend it was Rorys birthday and he asked for a Lemon Drizzle cake as his birthday cake. I’ve never made a lemon drizzle before so I hunted round online and found this amazing recipe! I did alter it slightly and it tasted amazing! Chuck all the ingredients into one bowl and whisk! Fabulously quick!

Syrupy and citrusy, cut yourself a slice of sweet and sour splendour.

Lemon Cake:

175g (6oz)	self-raising flour
1	teaspoon baking powder
175g (6oz)	Butter or Marg
175g (6oz)	caster sugar
3	medium eggs
2	tablespoons milk
2	lemon rinds, finely grated

Drizzle:
2	lemons, juiced and strained
115g (4oz)	caster sugar (I used icing sugar)

Method:

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C, 350°F or gas mark 4.

Then sift the flour and baking powder into a large mixing bowl, add the remaining cake ingredients and beat together until smooth.

Grease and line the base of a 1kg loaf tin and spoon in the mixture.

Bake for an hour or until cooked.

Turn the lemon drizzle cake out.

Warm the lemon juice and sugar together.

And now for the main event, drizzle the lemony syrup all over the lemon drizzle cake and watch it soak in. Mmmmm.
