Recipe information -Sticky Toffee Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce
45-50 minutes
Ingredients
-- 200g unsalted butter, softened
- 200g caster sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 200g self-raising flour
- Zest of 2 lemons
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 100g icing sugar
- Extra zest of lemon for decoration
ar, for dusting
Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and grease a 20cm cake tin with butter. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Next, gently fold in the self-raising flour and lemon zest until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, mix together the lemon juice and icing sugar to create the zesty icing. Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and prick the top all over with a fork. Drizzle the zesty icing over the warm cake, allowing it to seep into the holes for extra flavor.
Finish off your Lemon Drizzle Cake with a sprinkle of extra lemon zest for a decorative touch. Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing and serving to your lucky guests.
Conclusion
I hope you enjoy making and indulging in this delightful treat as much as I do. Remember, a slice of Lemon Drizzle Cake is like a ray of sunshine on a gloomy day - it's guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. Happy baking, my fellow home chefs!
