How to Make Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezie All In One Lemon Drizzle Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (175°C/Gas Mark 3).
  2. Grease and flour a 2 lb loaf tin or round cake tin.
  3. In a large bowl, combine all cake ingredients. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon, then use a hand mixer for a maximum of 3 minutes until just combined.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared tin and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. While the cake bakes, prepare the syrup by whisking together the lemon juice and sugar in a small bowl. No heating required!
  6. Once the cake is out of the oven, immediately prick the top all over with a fine skewer or fork, while still in the tin.
  7. Pour the lemon syrup evenly over the hot cake.
  8. Leave the cake to cool completely in the tin. The syrup will create a delightful crunchy, sticky top!
  9. Once cooled, slice and serve. This cake keeps well, but it might not last long!
  10. Recipe easily doubles for a larger cake.
  11. For an extra decadent treat, split the cake horizontally and spread lemon curd between the layers.
