Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams caster sugar
- 200 grams self-raising flour
- 4 units large eggs
- 2 units lemons (zested and juiced)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 100 grams granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or 350°F and grease and line a 20cm (8-inch) round cake tin with baking paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter, caster sugar, self-raising flour, eggs, lemon zest (save the juice for later), baking powder, and milk.
Using an electric mixer or a wooden spoon, mix all the ingredients together until the batter is smooth and well blended. Avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and springs back when gently pressed in the center. Alternatively, insert a skewer into the middle; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
While the cake is baking, prepare the lemon drizzle by mixing the lemon juice with granulated sugar in a small bowl. Stir until the sugar is partially dissolved—it should have a grainy texture.
Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, use a skewer or toothpick to poke holes all over the top of the cake.
Pour the lemon drizzle mixture over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in through the holes. Let the cake cool completely in the tin to absorb all the syrupy goodness.
Carefully remove the cake from the tin and serve. Enjoy your moist and tangy Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezie All in One Lemon Drizzle Cake!
