Ingredients

150g self-raising flour
150g caster sugar
150g butter, softened
3 eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 lemons, zest only
2 tablespoons lemon juice
50g icing sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C. Grease and line a 20cm round cake tin with baking parchment.

2. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, adding a spoonful of the flour with each egg to prevent the mixture from splitting.

3. Sift in the remaining flour and baking powder and fold in, along with the lemon zest.

4. Spoon the mixture into the tin and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.

5. While the cake is baking, make the lemon drizzle. Mix together the lemon juice and icing sugar until smooth. Once the cake is ready, poke holes all over the top with a skewer and pour over the drizzle.

6. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack and leaving to cool completely. Serve with a cup of Costa Coffee for the perfect afternoon treat.
