In order to make this delicious cake, you will need the following ingredients: 200g softened butter, 200g golden caster sugar, 4 large eggs, 200g self-raising flour, 2 large lemons, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 4 tablespoons elderflower cordial, 2 tablespoons icing sugar.

Instructions

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and line a 20cm round cake tin with greaseproof paper. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Then, beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Sift in the flour and baking powder and mix until a smooth dough forms.

Peel the zest of the two lemons, and then juice them both. Add the zest and juice of the two lemons to the mixture and mix until fully incorporated. Pour the mixture into the cake tin and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.

Once the cake is cooked, take out of the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Whilst the cake is cooling, make the drizzle by combining the elderflower cordial and icing sugar in a small bowl. Once the cake is completely cooled, spoon the drizzle over the top of the cake and serve.
