We all love a naughty bit of lemon driz, and this recipe from my queen – Mazza Bazza – is absolutely spectacular.
I was trying out my new loaf tin for this bad boi (yes it was another B&M purchase before you ask) and now I think I’ve spiralled into a slightly worrying tin obsession. What will be next?!? Classic bundt tin, or maybe a fun willy shaped one??? Who knows x
Before we get into the citrussy goodness, time for some juicy kitchen goss…
Kitchen Goss
6 years ago, the entire nation was busy filming themselves being drenched in iced water. Sometimes you’d stumble across a gem – ones where people’s tops fell down or they slipped – but most were just like mine: uncomfortable to watch.
Here I am, aged 14, sporting my Ed Sheeran T-shirt (my first concert which I attended with my dad.) Jeans cutting off circulation to my legs, alarmingly large eyebags. Is that a festival wristband you see? Oh no sir, that is a wristband from guide camp. The bun and full fringe, a strong and iconic look that I am SURE will make a come back very shortly. I was cool x
This vid may be cringe, but the ice bucket challenge did help to raise lots of monies for a great cause and is providing quality entertainment 6 years on, so we allow it x
Anyway enough jibber jabber, on with the cake.
recipe from https://savvybites.co.uk/mary-berrys-lemon-drizzle-cake/
Ingredients
- Cake:
- 225g butter
- 225g caster sugar
- 4 eggs
- 225g self raising flour
- zest of 1 1/2 lemons
lemon syrup:
- juice of 1 1/2 lemons
- 85g caster sugar
Driz:
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 100g icing sugar
Decor:
- zest of 1/2 lemon
- edible glitter (this is essential)
Method – makes a 2lb loaf cake
- whack your oven on 170C and line a 2lb loaf tin with baking paper
- Beat the sugar and butter together until paler than me
- Add in the eggos one at a time
- fold in your flour
- plop into your prepared tin and bang that in your oven for 30-35mins or until a skewer comes out clean
- whilst your cake is still hot, make your lemon syrup
- mix the lemon juice and sugar together
- poke loads of holes in your warm cake and pour over syrup, this will make your cake even moister and even lemony-er
- leave cake to cool in the tin whilst it soaks up all the juicy goodness
- once cool take out of the tin
- make your driz by mixing the lemon juice and icing sugar
- using a spoon drizzle the drizzle
- decorate with your remaining zest and lots of glitter x
Anyway that’s all for today folks, hope yall have a fun n fresh week xxx
Lots of luv, Han, BTB xoxo
