Lemon Drizzle Loaf Cake.

Ingredients

  • 175g unsalted butter (softened)

  • 175g caster sugar

  • 175g self-raising flour

  • 3 large eggs

  • Zest of 2 lemons

For the Drizzle:

  • Juice of 2 lemons

  • 100g icing sugar (or caster sugar)

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Grease and line a 2lb loaf tin with baking paper.

  2. Make the Batter: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and caster sugar together until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.

  3. Fold & Bake: Gently fold in the self-raising flour and lemon zest until smooth. Pour the batter into your prepared tin and smooth the top. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

  4. Make the Drizzle: While the cake bakes, mix the lemon juice and sugar in a small bowl until smooth.

  5. Finish: As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, poke holes all over the top with a skewer. Pour the lemon drizzle evenly over the hot cake.

Let it cool completely in the tin before slicing. Enjoy your perfect slice!
