It's only drizzling

Easiest cake ever but it's SO GOOD. Just substitute the lemony bits for orangey bits and you have orange drizzle cake which is also SO GOOD.

Lemon Drizzle Cake:
  • 225g butter
  • 225g caster sugar
  • 225g self-raising flour 
  • 4 eggs
  • A pinch of salt
  • The rind of one lemon
  • The juice of one lemon (watch out for the pips)
Pre-heat oven to 180c. Mix the butter and sugar together really well until it's nice and creamy, then chuck in the rest of the ingredients. Tip it all into a loaf tin and bake for about 40 mins. For the icing just slowly add teaspoons of lemon juice to a pile of icing sugar until you have a nice consistency and drizzle it all over the cake once the cake has cooled. C'est super facile, non?





Voila. I used the wrong sugar in the cake (due to not being able to read the writing on the packets in the super market) so it was a little grainy but not a complete disaster - first cake made in a Paris kitchen!
