Lemon Drizzle Cake

I have recently rekindled my love of baking and I haven't really blogged about it but my mom asked me to make her this cake but I thought it wasn't going to be any good - turned out I was wrong! This cake would not have been my usual type of cake to eat but it was really good and it was so easy and incredibly tasty that I can't wait to make it again.

 

Cake:

175g (6oz) Flora Regular

175g (6oz) self-raising flour

½ tsp baking powder

175g (6oz) caster sugar

3 extra large eggs

2 tbsps low fat milk

Finely grated rind of 2 lemons

 

Lemon Syrup:

Juice of 2 lemons, strained

115g (4oz) caster sugar

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Sift the flour and baking powder into a mixing bowl. Then add the remaining cake ingredients and beat with a wooden spoon until smooth.

 

2. Spoon the mixture into a greased and base lined 19x12x9cm loaf tin.

 

3.Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 1 hour or until cooked.

 

4. Take out of the tin and allow to cool on a wire tray.

 

5. Put the lemon juice and sugar in a saucepan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved.

 

6. Whilst cake is warm, drizzle the syrup over so that it soaks into the cake.
