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!

Holiday Skin

I went on holiday recently and before I embarked on my great adventure...to spain... I wanted to make my skin look and feel a little bit better..
 I got my first ever tube of St. Tropez fake tan, and I love it! It's fab and doesn't give off that weird fake tan smell that most of the others i've tried have.. I used this before spain just to give me that glow, as if i've already been on holiday and mostly because I look terrible pale, especially in the summer! I'm not doing a Neil from The Inbetweeners though! Haha!

I've also been using the the firminator by soap and glory, I think I like it, it's meant to firm up your skin but I haven't been using it for long enough I don't think to see any real results yet.

Fave Summer Nails

Hii,
I've been on holiday recently and I tried a couple of different nail polishes while I was away and I've found my two defo summer staples! Ones by barry m in the shade 'Passion Fruit' and the other is essie 'Fiji' .

Fiji looks soo good on your hands especially when you've got a tan, and I just think it's a very suitable, girly shade for me..It actually dries really quickly which is perfect if you don't want to spend ages on your nails and just want to get out in the sun! I do recommend applying at least 2 coats though so that it's not to sheer.  £8.00

The Barry M one looks really good on your toes I think, I don't really like pastel colour on toes and I think that darker and more 'primary???' colours look alot better but still complement your tanned feet! This one only really needs one coat but does take a little bit longer to dry than the other, and also I was in the pool a lot on holiday and found that maybe the chemicals in the pool caused the nail polish to come off a lot quicker than if i was at home, but for the price of it, it's really good. £3.99

Lazy Sundays

For me, Sundays are the worst days of the week, because you have a whole other week of school (or work) ahead of you, and it does really get you down, and make you feel like you can't be bothered.

That's why I normally, on Sundays, tend to be quite lazy with my skin care and use face wipes to get my make up off.. (I know it's a sin in the beauty world) but I just seriously can't be bothered!

Do you have any 'Lazy Sunday' skin care products? If you do tell me and i'll fo sho check them out!

Thanks

I HATE EXAMS

Hii,
To those of you who actually read my blog, I'm so sorry that I haven't posted in quite a while. I've been super busy with exams (that I did really bad on). If you saw the video link that I posted on my last, short, post- you will probably know that I've started a youtube channel :D. I think I'm going to be doing beauty and fashion things on it. Maybe some baking but I'm not quite sure!
Anyway, It would be super lovely if you could subscribe, (only if you want too, I'm not holding a gun to you're head or anything haha)
I'll post my most recent video in a post after this one!

Have a lovely day and thank you so much for reading this!

Lots of Love
Daisy xx
