Just when you thought I couldn’t possibly post another lemon flavoured baked good recipe, I go and prove you wrong!! BAM!!! These lemon cakes are zesty, buttery and delicious!!!
They are quick and easy to make, and great for sharing (or for a rough day where you need to eat a lot of cupcakes).
If you’re looking for a healthier lemon cake, try this lemon yoghurt cake. Or for a dairy free option, try the lemon friands!!
I used this recipe from BBC Good Food, but decided not to ice them. They’re sweet enough without icing, but you can try a butter cream, or a lemon glaze if you want to jazz them up a bit more.
Ingredients
- 125g of softened butter
- 125g of caster sugar
- 2 medium eggs
- 100g of self raising flour
- 2 tbsp of milk
- 2 lemons (zested)
Method
- Heat the oven to 180 degrees.
- Using a whisk, beat together the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, flour (sifted), milk and the zest of the two lemons and a little squeeze of juice.
- Mix everything until it is a smooth mixture.
- Spoon one and a half tea spoons of the mix into the cake cases.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 mins or until golden brown
