I have been so spoilt this summer with friends constantly bringing me food and cakes to help out whilst I was in recovery. One day, this cake arrived. It was divine and I asked for the recipe. As I was clearing out old papers today, I thought I would share this recipe on the blog and then I also have it for future needs.
☺
You need for the cake:
75 gram softened butter
125 gram caster sugar
150 gram self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
1 tbsp lemon curd (optional, but it will intensify the flavour)
2 1/2 tbsp milk
Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the remaining ingredients and mix till they are thoroughly combined.
Pour the mixture into a 1kg greased loaf tin and make at 180 degrees for 40-45 minutes (or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean)
You need for the drizzle:
Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 tbsp granulated sugar
Mix the lemon zest, juice and sugar. Pour the mixture over the hot cake in the tin. Leave to cool completely.
mmm....!
Ja dette hørtes kjempegodt ut og her i huset er vi veldig glad i sitronkake. Å ha glasur på kaken når den er varm var en ny variant for meg. God bedring videre og håper du snart er ladet 100%. Savner de herlige innleggene og refleksjonene dine fra livet på den Britiske øyen.
ReplyDeleteDet var snilt av deg :-) Det har vært både lite blogging og lite blogglesing i sommer, men må innrømme jeg er regelmessig innom din blogg! :-)
DeleteHei!! den ser kjempegod ut!! Elsker alt med sitron!! Må nok prøves!! Anne kari:-)
ReplyDeleteAnbefales som sagt på det varmeste. Professoren er ikke glad i sitron i kaker, så jeg blandet vaniljedråper med sukkeret som heller over til slutt og utelot lemon curd
