Betty Crocker Lemon Drizzle Cake Recipe

Ingredients

This delicious Betty Crocker Lemon Drizzle Cake Recipe requires a few simple ingredients. You will need:

225g/8oz butter, plus extra for greasing
225g/8oz caster sugar
4 large eggs
225g/8oz self-raising flour
3 tablespoons milk
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
For the drizzle topping:
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons icing sugar

Instructions

This Betty Crocker Lemon Drizzle Cake Recipe is easy to follow. Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4. Grease a 20 cm/8 inch round cake tin and line the base with baking parchment.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and the caster sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Sieve in the self-raising flour and stir until everything is combined. Add the milk and lemon zest and mix until smooth.

Spoon the mixture into the cake tin and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the cake is golden-brown and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

When the cake is cooked, remove from the oven and leave to cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.

In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice and the icing sugar until it forms a smooth drizzle. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cake and leave to cool completely before serving.
