Ingredients

This zesty Lemon Drizzle Cake is the perfect treat to brighten up your day! It’s sunny, moist and full of flavor. To make this classic lemon drizzle cake, you will need the following ingredients:

200g butter, softened
200g caster sugar
4 eggs, lightly beaten
200g self-raising flour
2 lemons
50g icing sugar

Instructions

Let's get baking! Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Grease and line an 8-inch baking tin with baking parchment.

In a medium-sized bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each one is fully incorporated before adding the next. Gradually fold in the flour, mixing until you have a smooth batter.

Grate the zest of both lemons into the batter and stir. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave the cake to cool slightly in the tin before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

To make the drizzle topping, mix the juice of both lemons with the icing sugar until it is a smooth syrup. Prick the top of the cake with a fork and pour the lemon syrup over the cake. Leave to cool completely before serving.
