How to make

1

The Batter

Weigh the 2 eggs and then measure out the same weight in the self raising flour, butter and caster sugar in a large mixing bowl. Mix all the ingredients together. Grate the lemon zest and add to the mixture.

2

Bake

Pour the mixture into a greased loaf tin. Bake until the middle sets and a skewer comes out clean, approximately 50 minutes at 180 degrees.

3

The Drizzle

Whilst your cake is baking, squeeze the juice from the lemon and mix in 85g of caster sugar or icing sugar to create your zesty drizzle.

4

Finish

When the cake comes out of the oven, use a cocktail stick or skewer to poke holes all over the top. Pour the sugar drizzle mixture evenly over the warm cake so it soaks in.

Serving: Perfect with a cup of tea! Enjoy!
