Tanya Burr Lemon Drizzle Cake Recipe
Ingredients
This recipe calls for a few simple ingredients that you’ll likely already have at home. To get started you’ll need: 150g of softened butter, 150g of caster sugar, 3 large eggs, 150g of self-raising flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 2 tablespoons of milk, the zest and juice of 1 lemon, and 75g of icing sugar for the drizzle.
Instructions
The first step is to preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line an 8 inch round cake tin with parchment paper. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well each time. Add in the flour and baking powder and mix until combined. Add in the milk and mix until the batter is light and smooth. Finally, fold in the lemon zest.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Test the cake with a skewer to check if it is cooked, if not put it back in the oven for a few more minutes. Once the cake is cooked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Carefully turn the cake out onto a wire rack.
To make the lemon drizzle, mix together the lemon juice and the icing sugar. When the cake is cooled, pour the drizzle over the top of the cake. Allow the drizzle to set before serving.
