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!

past week in snapshots

Well, it's a good job my new years resolution wasn't to blog more or i would have already failed, but in my defense i have been really busy getting ready for school and everything and I went to nottingham for a few days.
I have, however, been taking pictures but using these pictures on their own would make for a very boring blog post so i've put them all in a collage, (i have stolen this idea from milkbubbletea but i very much doubt she'd ever see this)

1. I started my healthy eating and it has been going really well actually, a whole week without crisps, i really deserve an award, I made this breakfast and it was quite nice-just a bit boring but very healthy.

2. for christmas i got the marc jacobs perfume 'dot' it smells amazing and the little bottle that it's in is beautifuuul, i was also in boots and saw this purse which is made by bleach london (the temporary dye company) and i fell in love with it so it is now my new coin purse.

3. I visited nottingham and the christmas markets and decorations were still there it was soo cute and i definitely spent a bit more money than I should have.

4. this is one of my favourite outfits at the moment and I'm in love with this coat- I got it from primark for £15!

5. the naked smoothies have really been helping me keep healthy because they're so nice and sweet so instead of reaching for the bag of haribo's i've been having a sip of this and it sort of calms my extreme need for sweet things

6. I was in h&m a couple of days ago and tried this dress on, I'm sort of in love with it but not at the same time and i've never felt like that about an item of clothing before...I didn't get it in the end but i'm pretty sure i will be going back to buy it

Hope you've all had a good week and happy new year!!

PS: thank you for 1000 followers on blog lovin' i was so happy when I woke up with 1000 thank you so much!

Christmas Food Faves

At christmas i eat a lot more than i usually would and i have recently discovered the best yummy treats in the entire world..prepare yourself (unless you like hot chocolate and marshmallow topped chocolate prepare to be extremely underwhelmed)

 this hot chocolate is one of the best things ever made, it tastes like reeses cups in a liquid. i can't get enough of it and i've probably been drinking a few too many cups of this a day...it's amazing - you can get it from tesco and I don't actually think it's that expensive.

this chocolate, i have decided, is officially my best friend, i want to take it everywhere and eat it at every moment..ok thats weird, but i absolutley love it and you can get this from tesco too (if you can't already tell i practically live in tesco)

I know there's only two things that i've written about here but their my favourites, and i will soon have to give them up so that I can start my new years resolution (which is to get fit) ...we'll see how long that lasts

love dais xx

favourite winter things

christmas and winter time is one of my favourite times of the year - it's all cosy and lit up, which i really enjoy, obviously candles are a must have at christmas time and i've really been liking  this one from yankee candle called 'snowflake cookie' it smells like something from soap and glory (I can't think of the exact scent but still)

this next thing isn't really christmas related but i have still really been liking cherry lips. i get mine from mr simms, they taste a bit like soap but in a nice way... (don't ask me how) but i still looove them.

 I have been loving these slippers from primark as well, they keep my feet so warm (kind of the point of slippers but....) and they are so cute with the little bow on the front and they have fur inside as well. I think they were only about 2/3 pounds which I think is fab

have you got any winter favourites?
