Lemon Drizzle Cake 🍋🍰

This classic Lemon Drizzle Cake is a perfect balance of zesty and sweet. With a light, fluffy texture and a tangy lemon glaze, it’s the ideal treat for any time of day – from afternoon tea to a casual dessert. Fresh, bright, and utterly irresistible!

Ingredients:

🍰 Self-raising flour: 250g
🍚 Caster sugar: 200g
🧈 Butter: 200g, softened
🥚 Eggs: 3 large
🍋 Lemons: 2, zest and juice
🥛 Whole milk: 50ml
🥄 Baking powder: 1 tsp

For the drizzle:

🍋 Lemon juice: 50ml (from the lemons above)
🍚 Caster sugar: 100g

Method:

🍰 Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan) and line a loaf tin (approximately 23x13cm) with baking paper.
🧈 Cream the butter and caster sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
🥚 Beat in the eggs one at a time, adding a spoonful of flour with each egg to prevent curdling.
🍋 Fold in the zest of the lemons, followed by the flour, baking powder, and milk. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
🧈 Pour the batter into the prepared tin and smooth the top.
🔥 Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
🍋 For the drizzle: while the cake is cooling, mix the lemon juice and caster sugar in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves.
🍰 Once the cake is completely cool, prick the top with a skewer and pour the lemon drizzle over the cake, allowing it to soak in.
