Ingredients Method

What you'll need

For the cake

225g unsalted butter

250g caster sugar

225g self-raising flour

4 eggs

Zest of 2 lemons

For the drizzle

Juice of 1½ lemons

80g caster sugar

Icing sugar (optional)

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C Fan.
Grease a loaf tin with butter and line with baking paper.
In a bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until creamy.
Mix in the eggs one at a time. Then, beat in the flour and the lemon zest until well combined.
Bake for approximately 50 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
While your lemon drizzle tray bake is cooling, prepare your drizzle by mixing the juice of 1½ lemons and 80g caster sugar together.
Prick the surface of your lemon drizzle loaf with a skewer and pour over the mixture. The juice will sink in while the heat of the cake will cause the drizzle to form a deliciously crisp topping.
If you’re looking for a more decorative finish, dust with a light layer of icing sugar!
