Tag Archives: drizzle cake recipe

My mum has recently discovered Lemon Drizzle cake so whenever we go round there’s always one there. Not to be beaten, I wanted to discover a drizzle cake of my own and so was born my version of a Lemon/Orange/St Clements cake. The cake is perfectly lovely and extremely tangy without icing but being me, I wanted to tart it up a bit. I used ready to mix fondant icing which I’ve wanted to try for a while and it was just perfect. I would think the ready to roll fondant icing might just be a bit too heavy for this cake and take away too much of the tang. The recipe below makes 12 cupcakes (I used a square cupcake tin) and an 8″ square cake. 8oz butter 8oz caster sugar 10oz self-raising flour 3 eggs 2 egg whites 2fl oz milk juice of 1 lemon and 1 satsuma/tangerine finely grated rind of 2 lemons and 2 tangerines St Clements Drizzle Mixture (Optional but really good) 8oz Caster Sugar Juice of 2 lemons and 1 satsuma/tangerine/small orange How to: 1. Preheat the oven to 170C 2. Beat the butter and sugar together until pale 3. Gradually add eggs one more »
