Lemon Drizzle

I was very lucky this Christmas to receive Paul Holloywood's 'How to Bake' recipe book. It features some wonderful recipes including this; which is named Mr's Post's Lemon Drizzle Cake. I made it today and it was an absolute treat and very light and fluffy. I found it best to do this recipe solely with a wooden spoon.

Makes 9 squares
Ingredients:
Cake:
75g butter
125g caster sugar
150g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
1 tbsp lemon curd
2 1/2 tbsp full-fat milk

Drizzle:
2 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp granulated sugar

Method:
Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees

1. Beat butter and caster sugar together until light and fluffy
2. Add all the other ingredients (for the cake) and beat until thoroughly combined
3. Pour the mixture into a medium square baking tray
4. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden
5. As soon as the cake is taken out of the oven, mix the lemon juice and sugar (for the drizzle) in a small saucepan until just boiling (with small bubbles forming on the edges) and the sugar is dissolved
6. Pour evenly over the hot cake and allow to completely cool
7. When cool, cut into 9 squares
8. If you want, dust with icing sugar
