Lemon Drizzle Cake
Ingredients:
200g salted butter, softened plus a little for greasing
200g golden caster sugar
zest of 3 large unwaxed lemons (save a little to decorate)
3 large eggs at room temperature
225g self-raising flour
50g full fat natural yoghurt
2 tbsp good quality lemon curd
Drizzle:
juice of one and a half lemons
4/5 sugar cubes, crushed
Method: Preheat oven to gas mark 3 1/2 / 170° / 150°C fan
Grease and line a 2lb loaf tin with baking parchment. Put the butter, caster sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl, and beat with an electric hand whisk until pale and fluffy. Crack in 1 egg, whisk into the butter mixture until well combined, then add 1 heaped tbsp flour and mix again. Continue with the remaining eggs and flour, finishing with any remaining flour and mix until just combined. Add the yoghurt and lemon curd, fold together with a spatula until smooth. Scrape the mixture into tin and bake in the centre of the oven for 50 minutes until golden and risen. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. For the drizzle, mix the lemon juice and sugars in a small bowl. Transfer the cake to a cooling rack. Using a fine skewer or cocktail stick, poke holes all over the top of the cake. Spoon over the drizzle, scatter with the reserved zest and leave to soak in.
