Lemon drizzle cake

Just the thing for a hot day, especially if decorated with sugar flowers. I would add a picture, but it's nearly all gone.

You'll need:

4oz butter
6oz self-raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
6oz caster sugar
2 eggs
6 tablespoons milk
grated rind of a lemon

for the lemon drizzle icing

juice of a lemon (ie the one you've just used the rind from)
3oz caster sugar

Stick the oven on at about 180 degrees C, and line a rectangular baking tin with greaseproof paper.

You could just chuck all the cake ingredients in a food processor, and blitz until it's smooth. I suspect you'll get a fluffier sponge if you blitz the sugar/butter together first, then add the eggs/milk, and then the flour/lemon rind/baking powder.

Spoon the mixture into your tin, and bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until it's turned golden brown. Take it out of the oven, but leave in the tin.

Mix together the lemon juice and sugar, and pour (drizzle) over the top of the cake. You might want to make a few tiny holes with a skewer first, so it soaks into the cake too.

Leave to cool - then cut into squares. We decorated ours with tiny sugar flowers (v tasteful), and then lots of pigs/rabbits/owls/dogs (v silly).
