Lemon Drizzle Cake


I made this cake recently it is super simple, you know me and cakes :-) and was eaten in no time always a good sign. I just adore lemon cakes so fresh and yet light at the same time.



Ingredients:

  • 4 oz butter 
  • 4 oz sugar 
  • 4 oz self raising flour
  • 2 eggs 
  • juice of 1/4 lemon
  • 2 teaspoon of grated lemon peel
  • one teaspoon lemon peel for glaze
  • 2 tablespoon of confectioners sugar
  • hot water


Method:

  1. cream the sugar and butter till light and fluffy
  2. mix in the eggs and flour, lemon peel and juice
  3. bake at 375 for 20-30 minutes, until a knife comes out clean 
  4. let the cake cool
  5. then mix confectioners sugar with hot water and the lemon peel to make a glaze, pour over the cake and let cool
  6. enjoy :-)






This little cake tastes like summer to me 

Do you have a favorite summer cake?

    There's just something about anything lemon that I adore. Actually, it seems to be almost anything citrus. Might explain why I don't have much of a sweet tooth.

    Lemon cakes and cookies are awesome. These look like its quite quick to make, and it seems they also disappear quickly as well

    That looks lovely and light! I love lemon cakes, in fact I'm getting a bit obsessed about making Nigella Lawson's little lemon puddings which are on her up-dated iPhone app!

    Love the simplicity of the powdered sugar drizzle. It really gives the cake a great zing of sweetness.
