I love the lemon flavour and Lemon Drizzle Cake was on my baking list for a loooong time. Served with some fresh strawberries, it is perfect for any time of the year… for breakfast with a cup of tea Ā or a more fancy dessert if you serve it with fresh fruits and even a scoop of ice cream.
Ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- 250g sugar
- 300g flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 170ml milk
- 140g melted butterĀ (you can also use vegetable oil)
- 1 dash of salt
- zest from 1-2 lemons (only the yellow skin of the lemon)
Directions:
- Whip the eggs yolks with the sugar until it changes color into a pale yellow and the mixture is fluffy and thick. Add the milk and mix for 1-2 more minutes.
- Sift the flour with the baking powder and salt and add them to the rest of the batter. Now it’s time to add the oil and, of course, the star of this cake, the lemon zest (wash the lemon before use and only grind the yellow skin of the lemon, the white one is bitter). Set aside while you whip the eggs whites to stiff peaks. Fold them in the rest of the batter using a spatula.
- Bake in a greased pan (I used a bundt cake pan) at 180C until it passes the toothpick test.
- For glazing just mix 1 tablespoon lemon juice with confectioners sugar until the glazing looks a bit shiny and it’s thick as sour cream. Pour it over the warm cake. Serve the cake with fresh strawberries or whipped cream and even ice cream. Enjoy!!
