I used Christmas sprinkles – Basically any strong coloured ones will do. For decoration I went with simple icing sugar made into quite a thick consistency and a squeeze of lemon juice. Extra sprinkles on top finished off the cake perfectly!
Now its been really dark around here for yonks – Taking photographs is hideous at the moment so I decided to embrace it and go with a dark & mysterious shot.

INGREDIENTS
- 12oz Butter (Softened)

- 6 Eggs
- 2 Lemons (Finely grated zest & Juice)
- 15oz Self Raising Flour
- 4oz Icing Sugar
- 3 tablespoons Sugar Sprinkles (plus more for decoration)
NOTE
This recipe is fine to be frozen before the icing is added
DIRECTIONS
| 1. | |
| Preheat the oven to 170C and butter/flour a bundt cake tin – I sometimes leave a thin ring of parchment paper in the bottom too | |
| 2. | |
| Using an electric mixer, whisk together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy | |
| 3. | |
| Add the eggs, one at a time whilst still mixing on a medium setting. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure the mixture is fully combined | |
| 4. | |
| Add the lemon zest and juice of 1 of the lemons | |
| 5. | |
| Stop the mixer and fold in the flour gently, using a figure of 8 motion. At the last minute add the sprinkles and mix gently | |
| 6. | |
| As soon as the mixture comes together and the sprinkles are fairly well distributed, stop folding and pour into the cake tin | |
| 7. | |
| Bake for approx 55-60 minutes or until a skewer comes out clear | |
| 8. | |
| Leave to cool inside the bundt tin. Once cool transfer out onto a wire rack | |
| 9. | |
| Mix together the remaining lemon juice and the icing sugar then top up with enough water to just make the icing a pouring consistency | |
| 10. | |
| Pour over the top of the cool bundt cake and allow to drizzle down the sides and the center. | |
| 11. | |
| Finish off by decorating with added sprinkles | |
