Lemon Drizzle Cake

Hello, I hope you all had an amazing summer! I sure did! Since it is summer I decided to make something summery that everyone can enjoy. I got the idea for this recipe while I was sitting in my room watching YouTube. I am very into the British YouTuber called Zoella, who has a fashion and make up channel. She made a video with her friend and they made this delicious Lemon Drizzle Cake and I decided to make it for myself. I tweaked it a little bit and it came out fantastic! It is a super fluffy cake, with amazing favor because of the lemon zest. I hope you enjoy this summery dessert just as much as I do!

Ingredients:

11 tablespoons butter

¾ cup granulated sugar

3 eggs

1 1/2  cups flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

zest of 2 lemons

1 teaspoon salt

Drizzle:

2/3 cup powdered sugar

Juice of 2 lemons

Pre heat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. First, cream the butter and sugar together for about 2 minutes or until fluffy. Then, add the eggs and mix until combined. Add the flour, baking powder lemon zest, and salt, then mix together till thoroughly incorporated.

 Add the batter to a buttered loaf pan and put the cake into the oven for 30-35 minutes or until fully cooked. 

Mix the powdered sugar and the lemon juice together until the powdered sugar has dissolved. Using a knife poke a few holes into the hot cake and pour the lemon drizzle over the cake. 

Let the cake rest for 30 minutes then enjoy!
