Summer Bucket List ~ Lemon Drizzle Cake

                                                             

Heyo!

The other day I baked (which was number 7 on my Summer Bucket List) a Lemon drizzle cake. I found the recipe off one of Tanya Burr's youtube videos and thought it looked super simple and yummy so decided to give it a go. 

I've written out the recipe but if you would prefer to watch the video, click HERE.

Ingredients: 

- 3 Eggs

- 170g Self Raising Flour

- 170g Caster Sugar

- 170g Butter

- 1 tsp Baking Powder

- 110g Icing Sugar

- 2 Lemons

1. Preheat the oven to 180C.

2. Grease your tin or put greaseproof paper.

3. Put your eggs, self-raising flour, caster sugar, butter, baking powder and zest of 2 lemons into a large mixing bowl and mix together using an electric whisk or a wooden spoon until smooth.

4. Put the mixture into a rectangular loaf tin and put into the oven for 30-45 minutes. (TIP: It's ready when you put a table knife into the centre of the loaf and no batter comes out.)

5. Whilst your loaf is in the oven, make the drizzle: mix the juice of
the two lemons that you got the zest from earlier and the icing sugar together in a small mixing bowl.

6. Once the loaf is out of the oven, when it's still hot, using a sharp knife poke holes into the loaf.

7. Pour the drizzle on top of the loaf and give it time to soak in.

And that's pretty much it! 

This was a super easy, super yummy cake and something I've never tried before so I really do recommend that you give it a go!
