WHAT YOU NEED
LEMON LOAF
4 Eggs
225G butter
225G caster sugar
350G self raising flour
Lemon juice - I use the bottle ones as they last a bit longer in the cupboard :)
LEMON DRIZZLE TOPPING
Lemon juice
Caster sugar
LETS GET BAKING
Preheat your oven to gas mark 5/180C
Add your sugar and soft butter to a bowl and mix together , then add your eggs and do the same. We use a stand alone mixer , but a whisk is absolutely fine :)
Now add half of your flour in then give it a mix, then add the other half and do the same . I give it quite a big whizz on turbo/full speed which makes the cake super fluffy .
Add in your lemon juice , this depends on how much you like lemon :) we put about a third of the bottle , but always taste test the batter until you get it to your liking.
Pop the mixture into a sprayed loaf tin, and in the oven for 30 minutes or until golden on the top.
I then put it in tin foil for a few hours to cool down , and by putting it in the tin foil it keeps all its moisture in and is so soft.
Once cooled down , make up your lemon drizzle topping with caster sugar and lemon juice to however thick you want it , drizzle over and serve :)

That really does look mouthwatering. I've not made a lemon drizzle for a few months much to my children's despair. It's such a yummy cake.
