Katie Barry
Ingredients
225g Soft Butter
225g Caster Sugar
4 Eggs
225g Self Raising Flour
Grated Zest of 1 Lemon
Drizzle topping
- Juice of 1 Lemon
- 85g Icing Sugar
Directions
Heat the oven to 180 degrees (Gas Mark 4). Line a 1lb loaf tin with baking paper
Beat together the butter and sugar until they are pale and creamy
Add eggs one at a time, slowly mixing them through
Sift in the flour and lemon zest. Mix until well combined
Spoon the mixture into the loaf tin and level with a spoon
Bake for 30 - 40 mins, until a knife inserted into the centre comes out clean
Remove cake and let cool
While Cake is cooling, mix together the lemon juice and icing sugar
Prick the cake with a fork along the top and pour the drizzle over it. The juice will sink into the holes and form a crispy topping
The cake will keep for 3-4 days in an airtight container or one month in the freezer.
