Golden Lemon Drizzle Cake
This is a variation on driz, which is deeper and richer. It is usually a light sponge, but the syrup cake makes for a rich, moist cake with a slight caramel flavour.
250 g very soft butter
200 g soft brown sugar
2 tablespoons of golden syrup
Place in a bowl and whisk together until it lightens in colour.
You need the grated zest of 1.5 lemons and the juice of 1 lemon for the egg and another lemon’s worth for the topping
Place the zest and juice of one of the lemons in the egg mixture
You also need 4 eggs. Sieve in 250 g self raising flour - start with a a couple of tablespoons of the flour then beat in two eggs, then repeat etc until it is all used up.
Grease and line a 20 cm spring form tin. Preheat the oven to 170ºC, 325ºF, Gas 3
Spoon your mixture into the tin and flatten the top, making a little dip in the centre.
Pop into the oven for 40 - 45 minutes.
Allow the cake to settle in the tin, and then remove the cake - leaving it on the base.
`Mix together the lemon juice, the half zest and 2 tablespoons of soft brown sugar, and gently pour it over the surface of the cake.
Allow the cake to cool before serving. |
