Ok so here is the award winning (well, 3rd place) Lemon drizzle cake recipe!
• 115g unsalted butter
• 115g caster sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 100g ground almonds
• zest and juice of 2 lemons
• 200g self-raising flour
for the lemon syrup
• 100g caster sugar
• 90g lemon juice
for the lemon icing
• 225g icing sugar
• zest and juice of 1 lemon
Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.
Beat the butter with the caster sugar until creamy then add the eggs one by one, beating each in well. Add ground almonds, the lemon zest and juice and sift in the flour. Pour the mix into the cake tin with greaseproof paper, the bake for 35 minutes. Once its cooked put the cake on a rack to cool.
Make the lemon syrup by heating the sugar and lemon juice in a pan until the sugar has dissolved. Make lots of little holes in the top with a cocktail stick and pour the syrup over.
To make the icing, sift the icing sugar into a bowl and add the lemon zest and juice then stir.
When your cake is almost cool pour the icing carefully over the top.
Easy peasy!
