Lemon Drizzle Cake

1lb loaf tin greased and lined with baking paper

For the cake
2 eggs
90g self raising flour
90g softened butter
90g caster sugar
Zest of 1 lemon
3/4 tsp baking powder

For the drizzle
Juice of 1/2 lemon
50g caster sugar

Mix all the cake ingredients together. Don’t mix too much, just enough to get a smooth mixture
Put in to the loaf tin (it isn’t very thick so that the drizzle can soak in well later) and bake at 180°C for about 25 mins or until a skewer comes out clean.
Mix together the lemon and sugar and spoon over the cake - it is hot and just out the oven at this point, it may help it to soak in if you use a skewer to poke a number of holes in the cake.
Let cool slightly then remove from the tin. Serve immediately is best, but also good cold.
