LEMON DRIZZLE CAKE



Lemon drizzle cake image

It's difficult not to demolish this classic lemon drizzle in just one sitting, so why not make two at once?

Provided by Tana Ramsay

Categories     Afternoon tea, Treat

Time 45m

Yield Cuts into 10 slices

Number Of Ingredients 7

225g unsalted butter, softened
225g caster sugar
4 eggs
225g self-raising flour
1 lemon, zested
1½ lemons, juiced
85g caster sugar

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
  • Beat together the butter and caster sugar until pale and creamy, then add the eggs, one at a time, slowly mixing through.
  • Sift in the self-raising flour, then add the lemon zest and mix until well combined.
  • Line a loaf tin (8 x 21cm) with greaseproof paper, then spoon in the mixture and level the top with a spoon.
  • Bake for 45-50 mins until a thin skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
  • While the cake is cooling in its tin, mix together the lemons juice and caster sugar to make the drizzle.
  • Prick the warm cake all over with a skewer or fork, then pour over the drizzle - the juice will sink in and the sugar will form a lovely, crisp topping.
  • Leave in the tin until completely cool, then remove and serve. Will keep in an airtight container for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.

BEST EVER LEMON DRIZZLE CAKE



Best Ever Lemon Drizzle Cake image

I love a good slice of cake and a cup of tea, particularly when it's warm and sunny outside. And nothing says sunshine like bright yellow, zesty lemons! This is one of my favorite, easy recipes for a light, fluffy lemon drizzle cake. This is also my boyfriend's absolute favorite; he exclaimed it was the best cake he's ever had, which is certainly saying something! Serve with a cup of tea and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. When life give you lemons, make lemon cake!

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, slightly softened
4 eggs
1 ¾ cups self-rising flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 lemon, zested
1 lemon, zested and juiced
7 tablespoons white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Measure ingredients into bowls. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • Combine 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar and butter in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until creamy and pale. Add 1 egg at a time, beating until the batter returns to a uniform pale color before adding the next. Sift in flour gradually. Fold with a wooden spoon to be sure flour is combined. Add baking powder and lemon zest.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan, being careful not to press it down.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Try not to open the oven door early to avoid collapsing the fluffy cake.
  • Juice the zested lemon into a small bowl. Add the zest and juice of the second lemon. Stir in 7 tablespoons sugar until dissolved. Pour glaze over the warm cake and leave to cool in the pan; glaze will harden as the cake cools.
