Lemon drizzle cake recipe - BBC Good Food image

It's difficult not to demolish this classic lemon drizzle in just one sitting, so why not make two at once?

Provided by Tana Ramsay

Categories     Afternoon tea, Treat

Total Time 45 minutes

Cook Time 45 minutes

Yield Cuts into 10 slices

Number Of Ingredients 7

225g unsalted butter, softened
225g caster sugar
4 eggs
225g self-raising flour
1 lemon, zested
1½ lemons, juiced
85g caster sugar

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
  • Beat together the butter and caster sugar until pale and creamy, then add the eggs, one at a time, slowly mixing through.
  • Sift in the self-raising flour, then add the lemon zest and mix until well combined.
  • Line a loaf tin (8 x 21cm) with greaseproof paper, then spoon in the mixture and level the top with a spoon.
  • Bake for 45-50 mins until a thin skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
  • While the cake is cooling in its tin, mix together the lemons juice and caster sugar to make the drizzle.
  • Prick the warm cake all over with a skewer or fork, then pour over the drizzle – the juice will sink in and the sugar will form a lovely, crisp topping.
  • Leave in the tin until completely cool, then remove and serve. Will keep in an airtight container for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.

  • Lemon Cake Pre-heat the oven. Rub some butter around the inside of a 1kg/2lb loaf tin or insert a baking liner. Sieve the flour and baking powder into a bowl, stir to combine and set aside. Chop the butter into small cubes. Put the butter cubes into a mixing bowl, add the sugar and beat together until light and fluffy. Finely grate the lemon rind, add it to the bowl and beat it in. Beat the eggs one at a time, into the mixing bowl ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next. Sieve the prepared flour to the mixing bowl followed by the milk and stir to combine. Tip the mixture into the prepared loaf tin and smooth the top. Bake for 40-45 minutes until cooked. Leave the cake in its tin. Lemon Syrup Squeeze the lemon juice into a jug, add more lemon or water, if necessary, to make 75ml liquid. Pour this into a saucepan, add the sugar and bring to the boil shaking the pan occasionally. Simmer gently for 2 minutes to make a syrup. Prick all over the surface of the warm cake with a BBQ stick or skewer, pressing right through to the base of the cake. Pour the syrup slowly all over the surface of the cake and leave to cool in the tin. Lemon Drizzle Icing Place a chopping board over the cold cake tin and invert it onto the board. Using a zester, peel some strands of zest from the lemon and set these aside. Squeeze the lemon juice. Measure the sugar into a bowl, add the lemon juice and stir to make the drizzle. Pour the drizzle over the top of the cake and spread it around the sides of the cake with a knife. Scatter the prepared strands of lemon zest over the cake. Leave to set before serving.

LEMON DRIZZLE CAKE RECIPE - NYT COOKING
This light and moist lemon poundcake has a crunchy sugar glaze that crystallizes on top, giving a contrasting texture to the soft crumb underneath. It’s an easy-to-make, crowd-pleasing cake that’s excellent on its own but takes well to embellishments. A scoop of ice cream or sorbet, fruit compote and-or lemon curd are all wonderful alongside.

  • While cake bakes, in a small bowl mix together remaining half of the sugar (225 grams/1 cup plus 2 tablespoons) and enough lemon juice to make a runny mixture. While cake is still warm, spoon the sugar mixture evenly over the top. (The cake has to be cooled slightly to prevent topping from melting, but warm enough that it soaks into the cake, leaving a crunchy sugar coat on top.) Let cool, then cut into squares.
