Here is a recipe that everyone who has tried it has asked me for the recipe, it is simplicity itself:
Lemon Drizzle Cake
makes a 1lb loaf
Preheat oven to 180oC/350oF
Grease and paper line a 1lb loaf tin (I use silicone these days, but I still line the bottom part with paper)
Beat together for 2 minutes:
4 ozs butter
6 ozs SR (self-rising) flour
6 ozs sugar
2 eggs
4 tbls milk
rind of l lemon
Spoon the mixture into loaf tin, Make a well in the centre and bake for 1 hour until golden and well risen. Loosen the edges from the tin. Mix juice of l lemon and 3 tbsp icing sugar (confectioners) together and spoon over the hot cake. Sprinkle with granulated sugar if you want a wonderfully crunchy topping. Leave in the tin until cold and cut into slices.
