Lemon Drizzle Cake



This is the best lemon drizzle cake i have ever come across and I very much hope you will like it!

Ingredients:
(cake)
100g softened butter
175g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
175g golden caster sugar
2 large eggs
6 tbsp milk
grated rind of 1 large lemon
(topping)
juice of 1 large lemon (you need 3 tablespoons)
100g golden caster sugar

How to:
1. Preheat the oven to 180 centigrade.
2. Grease a tin about 18cm to 28cm.
3. Put all the cake ingredients into a large mixing bowl and beat for 2-3 minutes, until the mixture drops easily off the spoon.
4. Spoon the mixture into the tin and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.
5. The baking of this cake is different to each of us. I like the cake very moist, soft and crumbly, where you bake it for 15-20 minutes. If you like it slightly harder, bake for 30-40 minutes.
6. To make the icing, mix together the juice and golden caster sugar.
7. Pour the mixture evenly onto the cake whilst it is still hot.
8. leave to cool, then cut into squares.
