[..lay a little egg for me]

Have noticed a few requests for the famous lemon drizzle cake recipe, so thought I would post it once more (I am doing this from memory so please correct me if I got anything wrong):

 

Take 3 (or 4 if small) eggs

Weigh your eggs (aim for about 180g-worth of eggs)

Whatever the eggs weigh, measure out the same weight each of butter, sugar and self-raising flour

Cream butter and sugar

Add zest of 1 lemon

Add flour

Bake at 180degrees C for about 40 mins depending on the tin size you choose

When cooked, juice the lemon and mix the juice with 3 or 4 tablespoons of sugar, drizzle this mixture over the cooked cake while it is still warm and leave to cool in the tin.

Turn out and try not to eat it all in one go!!

...worked well and all eaten by my ravenous family in next to no time!

Don't forget the **Omlet Cookbook** on the Wiki, which I keep as up to date as I can.

 

**Lemon Drizzle Cake** recipe there too..

Sorry to have missed this one.

 

May I add that I usually make a glace icing with some of the lemon juice and icing sugar and use it to top the cake. I often make the cake in a swiss roll tin and cut it up into squares for Rosie's lunchbox.

My lovely DD1 made this for me for mothers day in the shape of a butterfly decorated with pink glitter and smarties. It was scrummy.

How wonderful - what a great present!

It is yummy but I think next time I will make it in a lager tin as it was too deep and i had to cook it for too long so went a bit dry.

 

Added some icing made with lemon juice and icing sugar - delish.
