Summary: I’ve made lemon drizzle cake before. And it’s good but I wanted to punch up the lemony-ness for me and the sweetness for Mr Ask. The result is this double drizzle lemon cake. Light, fluffy, super moist with a huge lemon flavour! With 5 whole lemons, it should pack a punch. This is my favourite cake recipe, out of all the ones I’ve made before! I could eat this everyday and not get bored. I prefer to make this in a square tin to get a a big surface area for the syrup and icing. It’s huge flavour means it’s perfect for cutting into small squares for a morning tea.
Pro tip: Home grown one can be crazy juicy! If you need to adjust for super juicy lemons (or dry ones), a whole lemon should give you about 60ml of juice. That’s the amount a recipe is expecting when they say 1 lemon. You can thank me later….
Ingredients
- 125g butter, softened
- 175g caster sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 lemon, zest & juice
- 175g plain flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 tblsp plain yoghurt
- For the syrup
- 1 ½ lemons, juice & zest
- 100g sugar
- For the drizzle
- 1 ½ lemons, juice & zest
- 150g icing sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 C. Grease and line a square cake tin.
- Use a stand mixer or electric beaters to cream the butter and sugar together until pale and creamy. Add eggs and lemon zest and beat them in well.
- By hand, gently fold in the flour, baking powder and salt, mixing thoroughly. Stir in the yoghurt and lemon juice until well combined.
- Spoon the batter into your prepared tin and smooth over the top. Bake for 35-40 mins or until cake tester comes out clean.
- For the syrup: Put the lemon juice and sugar into a small saucepan and heat gently until the sugar dissolves. As soon as cake is out of oven, stab it all over with skewer and pour over the syrup. Allow cake to cool completely before removing from the tin.
- For the drizzle: Combine lemon juice and icing sugar until smooth and white, add a little more icing sugar if needed. Make sure your cake is completely cool before drizzling with the glaze.
