Tanya Burr's Lemon Drizzle Loaf

Hello everyone!

One of my favourite recipes is lemon drizzle and one of my favourite YouTubers is Tanya Burr so I teamed the two together and baked 'Tanya's Lemon Drizzle Loaf' from her book, 'Love Tanya'. 

For the cake:

3 eggs

170g self-raising flour

170g caster sugar

170g butter

1 teaspoon baking powder

zest of 2 lemons

For the icing:

150g icing sugar

juice of 2 lemons

Lets bake!

Pre-heat your oven to 180℃. Mix the eggs, flour, sugar, butter, baking powder and the zest of two lemons into a big mixing bowl. line your baking tin with a bit of butter or use a non-stick baking tin and pour mixture in. Bake for 35-45 minutes - the cooking time depends on the size of the tin and your oven. To check your cake is ready, slide a knife into the centre and if it comes out clean, it is ready to come out of the oven.

Mix together the icing sugar and juice of the two lemons to make the drizzle. Stir it together - it should be quite quite a watery consistency. While your cake is still hot, poke it all over with a skewer or sharp knife, and then pour over the drizzle so it can soak in.

(make sure you sieve your icing sugar because i made the mistake of not sieving mine and as you can see, it looked quite bumpy) ha ha.
