Lemon drizzle cake was the 'cake de jour'...back by popular demand! It's an easy one, but everyone at work raves about it...so always one to keep the people happy...it was made!
Went down a treat again! Also enough to save some at home for me to eat (yippee)...and the other half doesn't like cake (i know, it's nuts) so even more for me! Dog does look longingly at me though when i eat it. I have to lock her out of the kitchen when I'm baking, she gets so excited she tries to get into the oven!
Anywhoooooo....here's the recipe:
6oz Sugar
6oz margarine
6oz Self Raising Flour
2 eggs
1 lemon
Dash of milk
4 fl oz lemon juice
5oz icing sugar
1. Cream together the sugar and margarine until fluffy and light, then beat in the eggs
2. Add the flour and stir in the milk
3. Finely grate the lemon and mix the peel into the mixture
4. Grease and line your cake tin (I used a nice rectangular one...haven't measured it, I'd say the size of an A4 piece of paper...nice and specific for you there)
5. Pop your cake in the oven at gas mark 4 for about 40 mins or until golden on top
6. Leave the cake in the tin and make loads of holes all over the top with a fork
7. Put your lemon juice and icing sugar in a pan and heat until the icing sugar has dissolved
8. Pour the mixture over the cake so it gets absorbed into all the little holes then leave until cool before taking out of the pan, sprinkling with icing sugar, chopping it into pieces and then eating it...yum!
