Lemon Drizzle Cake

As it was Beth's birthday this week, it was my duty as a house-mate to make her a cake.
She requested a lemon drizzle cake.
So i pulled my resources and created a lemon drizzle cake

For the cake

125g caster sugar

125g self-raising flour

125g butter/marg

2 eggs

a teaspoon of baking powder

zest of 1 lemon

a squirt of lemon juice

For the drizzle

The juice of 1.5 lemons

70g caster sugar

• Set your oven to 180'C
• Mix together the butter and sugar until light and creamy
  
• Add the self-raising flour, baking powder and eggs. Mix well.
  
  
  
  
• Add your lemon zest and lemon juice. Mix.
  
• Pour into a loaf tin and put in the oven.
  
• Bake for 35-40 minutes until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
• Meanwhile make the drizzle. Add the juice and sugar to a saucepan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved.
• Once you have taken the cake out the oven poke lots of little holes in it with a skewer or fork and pour the drizzle over it and leave to cool.
  
  
  
  
• Enjoy the yummy sticky cake. Another excellent revision snack!
