1

Prepare the Ingredients

Gather all the necessary ingredients for the lemon drizzle cake. You will need: 200g softened butter, 200g granulated sugar, 4 large eggs, 200g self-raising flour, the zest of 2 lemons, and 2 tablespoons of milk.

2

Mix the Batter

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift in the self-raising flour and gently fold it into the mixture. Finally, stir in the lemon zest and milk until everything is well combined.

3

Bake the Cake

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake tin. Pour the cake batter into the prepared tin, ensuring it is evenly spread. Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

4

Prepare the Lemon Drizzle

While the cake is still warm, prepare the lemon drizzle. In a small bowl, combine the juice of 2 lemons and 100g of granulated sugar. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.

5

Drizzle the Cake

Once the cake is baked and still warm, use a skewer to poke holes all over the surface. Slowly pour the lemon drizzle mixture over the cake, allowing it to soak in. The drizzle will add extra moisture and a tangy flavor to the cake.
