Lemon drizzle cake

This Lemon Drizzle Cake is a timeless classic. Made with equal parts of butter, sugar, eggs, and flour—this cake is infused with the zest of two lemons for a fresh citrusy flavour. Once baked, it's soaked in a tangy lemon syrup and then finished with a simple, lemon icing and optional zest.

I made this for a moving in cake for my son, daughter in law & grandchildren. It's their favourite.

Lemon cake was incredible. I forgot a photo but mine also collapsed in the middle a bit. Still tasted amazing though!

Hey Andrew, glad it still tasted amazing! Collapsing middle is often from under-baking or the oven being too hot at the start. Another bake could take you to perfection! 🍋😊

Hey I’ll be giving it another go! First cake I’ve ever made and it was almost there 👍🏼. It also majorly overflowed the bread tin (which I’m reliably informed was a 2Ib tin!!) and my eggs weighed less than yours was I adjusted the ingredients accordingly

Absolutely loved this. My first cake I've baked, ever! OK, so I went a bit maverick with the icing sugar and lemon slices on top, but who cares! Tyler's instructions clear and easy. If I can do it, everyone can.

Cheers Phil! I wish my first cake looked that good 🤣 Looks absolutely perfect and loving the extra detail with the icing and lemon, adds a nice touch!
