Lemon Drizzle Loaf Cake Recipe

ok literally stop what you are doing right now and get your apron on because you have gottt to try this lemon drizzle recipe. This is by far my favourite lemon drizzle and its so quick and easy to make. I found this recipe on the internet a really long time ago and i have been using it ever since. Heres how i made this and what you will need:

170g of self rasing flour

170g of caster sugar

170g of butter

1tsp of baking powder

3 eggs

2 lemons (zest and juice)

110 of icing sugar 

mix the butter, caster sugar, eggs, flour, baking powder and lemon zest together in a big bowl until it looks like normal cake mixture. pour this mixture into a greased loaf tin (mines from tesco and i'm slightly in love with it) then put into a preheated oven at 180 degrees celsius, bake it for 30-40 minutes. while it's baking juice the lemons and mix the icing sugar with the lemon juice. You could probably use lemon juice from the shop already squeezed but i normally use the lemons that i got the zest from (make sure to sieve the squeezed lemon juice though!)

when the loaf comes out of the oven get a knife (or a professional little skewer that i do not have) and make holes all over the cake, once you've done that get the lemon 'drizzle' mix and pour it all over the top. Then you're done! you can eat it straight away or wait a little bit until it's cooled down. it's seriously so nice i could eat it all day...in fact i have been

hope you enjoy it!

merry christmas: 100 years

merry christmas everyone! I hope you're all having a lovely day and enjoying being with your family, and your presents. 

this isn't exactly a cheery type post, more of an appreciation post. 

As most of you probably know this year has marked 100 years since the first world war, where many brave people lost their lives fighting for this country and other countries too. In November, around the time of the actual day of the 100 years, i visited France and Belgium to see my uncle George and my granddad Joe, who died in the first world war. 

i'm writing this to say thank you to them and to all the other men who lost their lives, if they hadn't of gone and fought our lives would be completely different and I'm really grateful. 

merry christmas granddad joe and uncle george and to everyone else who fought and are still fighting for us, you will always be remembered...

i hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and hope that everyone remembers the people who are less fortunate and have no family or anyone to share christmas with, or who have no home to be in.
God bless.



love dais xx
