LEMON DRIZZLE BIRTHDAY CAKE RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
• In a large bowl, cream butter for 2 minutes. Add sugar and continue beating for 5 minutes, scraping down bowl occasionally. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition.
• Add flour alternately with whipping cream, beginning and ending with flour. Stir in vanilla and almond extract.
• Spread batter into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven until a tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 70 minutes. Allow to cool in pan for 15 minutes.
• Turn cake out onto a cotton dish towel and place on cooling rack covered with cotton towel. When cake is cool, top with confectioners' sugar and serve with fruit or by itself.

Steps:

• Line the muffin tin with the paper cases. Put all the cake ingredients into a bowl, and beat with an electric whisk until evenly combined and smooth.
• Make the icing: put the butter and half of the icing sugar into a bowl, and beat with an electric whisk until evenly combined and smooth. Add the lemon juice and the remaining icing sugar, and beat again until light and fluffy.
• Spread the icing over the cold cup cakes, and decorate with silver balls or glitter.
