Preheat your oven to 180'c. Grease and line an 18cm square cake tin
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 175g caster sugar
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 175g self raising flour
- 125ml milk
- icing sugar for dusting
For the drizzle:
- 150g icing sugar
- juice of 2 lemons
Method-Cake:
- Put the eggs, sugar and butter into a large bowl and mix them well until light and fluffy.
- Add the zest of the lemons, then gradually fold in the flour until even.
- Gently stir in the milk until all combined, and then pour into a lined cake tin and smooth it to an even level.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown or firm to the touch.
- Place the icing sugar and lemon juice in a small pan and heat on a low heat, stirring until it forms a white, milky colour. Do not boil it.
- Prick the warm cake with a knife or skewer (make lots of hole-it makes it really yummy!), and spoon the hot syrup evenly on top, allowing it to be absorbed.
- Finally, leave to cool in the tin and once completely cool, cut into squares and dust with icing sugar.
Enjoy!!
