Lemon Drizzle Squares.



Evening all.
Tonight's treat, lemon drizzle cake. I don't actually like lemon puddings, so i am not entirely sure why i did. Whatever the reason, i am so glad, they are delicious. If you're looking for something that isn't too technical or doesn't involve a great deal of washing up, then this is the one for you.

Ingredients 
6oz spread for baking (I used trex here, i will write a post about trex shortly)
8oz self raising flour
1tsp baking powder (i actually forgot to add this, oops, but i would recommend to for a lighter cake)
6oz caster sugar
3 eggs
3tbs milk
1 1/2 lemons

6oz granulated sugar

1- Preheat oven to 180C/Gas4

2- Grease and line a tray suitable for your tray bake. I used my brownie tin.

3- Simply add all ingredients apart from the lemon and granulated sugar into a bowl along with the grated rind of lemons, and mix with a hand whisk for 2 minutes or so or until smooth.

4- Pour into prepared tin, smooth down the top.

5- Place in the oven on the middle shelf and bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden, coming away at the edges and springs back when pressed.

6- Combine the juice of the lemons with the granulated sugar and set aside for now.

7- When the cake is baked, place on a cooling rack until completely cooled.

8- Turn out onto a plate, smother in your drizzle, and slice into squares.


I cannot wait to have another one of these tomorrow and share them with my friends.
Give these a go, i would love to see how they turn out.
