Frosted lemon cake

Olivia loves making this cake! & I love eating it....

Ingredients:

Cake:
100g margarine
175g caster sugar
175g Self raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 large eggs
4 tbs milk
1 lemon zested

Frosted topping:
Juice of 1 lemon
100g caster sugar

Method:

Cake

• Pre heat oven 180*C / Gas mark 4 / 350*F
• Grease a 1lb tin loaf and line bottom and sides with grease proof paper
• Weigh all cake ingredients in a bowl and mix until smooth (cheffy tip: I would use an electric whisk other wise it takes ages!)
• Turn into tin loaf & level out
• Bake in the oven for about 30-40 minutes
• Check if ready my pressing the top of the cake this should spring back or a wooden skewer by poking in the centre of the cake should come out clean

Frosted topping

• Melt the sugar over a medium heat with the lemon juice until the sugar has disolved

To finish the cake simply poor the frosting over the top of the cake once cooked and still in the tin. Allow to cool then turn out. Right, now the best bit!! make yourself a cup of tea and get stuck in :-)
