2 tbsp lemon juice
75g (3oz) caster sugar

Instructions

Now that you have gathered all the ingredients for this delicious cake, it's time to start baking! To make the cake, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas 4). Grease and line two 20cm (8in) round baking tins with baking parchment. Place the butter and sugar in a large bowl and beat together until light and creamy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, adding a tablespoon of the flour with each egg. Stir in the remaining flour, milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice until you have a smooth, creamy batter. Divide the mixture between the two tins and bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the tins for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Lemon Drizzle

To make the Lemon Drizzle, mix the remaining 75g (3oz) of caster sugar with the lemon juice and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Once your cakes have cooled, pour the lemon juice mixture over the top of each cake. Allow the Lemon Drizzle to seep into the top of the cakes and serve with a cuppa. Enjoy!
