My favourite! After my slightly less than fabulous last week I made this beauty over the weekend 🙂 No it’s most definitely not keto friendly, yes it’s full of sugar AND carbs but boy it’s gooooood. Incase you fancy a naughty piece of heaven here is the recipe for you, it’s very simply a lemon sponge in a loaf shape to be honest, I prefer it as it’s quite light compared to some drizzle cakes.

You’ll need a 1lb loaf tin, greased and lined … I always buy loaf cases as I’m too lazy to cut greasproof paper!

Ingredients:

• 130g softened butter
• 130g caster sugar
• 130g self raising flour
• 0.5 tsp baking powder
• 2 large eggs
• Zest of one lemon
• 1tbsp lemon juice
• For the drizzle – Juice of one lemon and 50g granulated sugar

Method

• Preheat your oven to 180c, that’s 160c for a fan assisted and prepare your loaf tin
• Whisk together your butter and sugar until fluffy and pale
• Sift in your flour and baking powder, then crack the eggs in and add the lemon zest and juice
• Whisk until all ingredients are combined then fill your loaf tin, use the back of your spatula to even out the mixture around the tin
• Bake in the oven for 35-45 mins, check by inserting a skewer into the centre and ensuring it comes out clean
• Once it’s cooked through take your loaf out of the oven and leave in the tin
• Combine your granulated sugar and lemon juice to make the drizzle then pour or brush over the top of your warm loaf
• After about 15 minutes transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before demolishing!

So there we go, easy peasy lemon drizzle loaf. Happy baking xxx
