Looking for the ultimate refreshing cake that’s easy to bake and bursting with citrus flavor? This Lemon Drizzle Cake is a British classic made with simple ingredients, a fluffy sponge, and soaked in a tangy lemon syrup. It’s the perfect bake for spring and summer—or anytime you crave something sweet yet zingy!

📝 Ingredients

For the cake:

  • 225g (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 225g (1 cup) caster sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 225g (1½ cups) self-raising flour
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

For the lemon drizzle syrup:

  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 100g (½ cup) granulated sugar

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat & Prepare

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan or an 8-inch round cake tin.

2. Make the Batter

Cream together butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Add lemon zest and vanilla.

3. Add Dry Ingredients

Sift in the flour and salt. Fold gently to avoid overmixing.

4. Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared tin. Bake for 40–45 minutes until golden and a skewer comes out clean.

5. Make Lemon Drizzle

Mix the lemon juice and sugar in a small bowl (don’t heat it). As soon as the cake is out of the oven, poke holes with a skewer and pour the syrup over the hot cake.

6. Cool & Serve

Let the cake cool in the pan. Slice and enjoy the zesty burst in every bite!
