2 lemons - thin peelings of skin and juice (approx. 80 g)
300 g caster sugar
175 g butter, unsalted - soft
3 large eggs 175 g self-raising flour 20 g milkInstructions
Preheat oven to 180°C and line a loaf tin (900 g/2 lb) with baking paper.
- Place lemon peel and 50 g sugar in mixing bowl then grate 10 sec/speed 10.
Scrape down sides of mixing bowl with spatula then grate again 10 sec/speed 10. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl with spatula. - Add 125 g sugar, butter and eggs then mix 20 sec/speed 5.
- Add flour and milk then mix 15 sec/speed 5. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl with spatula then mix again 15 sec/speed 5. Transfer batter to prepared tin and bake for 45-50 minutes (180°C) until a skewer inserted in centre comes out clean (see tip). Meanwhile, clean mixing bowl.
- Leave cake to rest for 10 minutes in tin while preparing lemon drizzle.
- I do this bit in a bowl and not in the Thermomix… To do in your thermomix: Place remaining 125 g sugar and lemon juice in mixing bowl then grind 8 sec/speed 8.
- While cake is still warm, prick deeply with a skewer. Remove from tin and transfer to a plate then pour glaze over the top allowing it to seep in and run down sides.
- Leave to cool completely before cutting in slices to serve
