This evening I had an immense craving to make lemon drizzle cake. I've never baked it before, but I didn't let this didn't stop me. All I can say is that I love lemon drizzle and my effort was no exception. The recipe is by Tana Ramsey (Gordon's misses)and I'll certainly be using the recipe again.
Tana's Lemon Drizzle Cake
225g butter, softened
225g caster sugar
4 eggs
225g self raising flour, sifted
zest of one lemon
For the drizzle icing
juice of 1.5 lemons
85g caster sugar
1) preheat oven to 180oc. Line 2lb loaf tin with greaseproof paper. Beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in each egg one at a time. Stir in flour then lemon zest. Pour into tin
2) Bake for 45-50 min. Mix icing ingredients together. While cake is still warm prick with a fork and pour icing over cake. Leave in tin until cool.
