Cake, mmmm, Cake

I've had a bake-y day today, lots of mini welshcakes and a cake that started as cupcakes, then upon discovery of just four paper cases, fruit cake and then when realising there's no dried fruit in the house it turned into a sort of lemon drizzle cake!


The mini welshcakes disappeared before the camera had time to take photo's and this is the last piece of the big cake...

Here's the recipe if you'd like to try it :)

225g self-raising flour
about a tsp bicarb
115g marg or butter
115g soft light brown sugar
1 egg, whisked
some milk

Grease your sandwich tins and preheat oven to 180c/350f/GM4.
Sift flour & bicarb into a bowl, rub in the fat, add the sugar and whisked egg mixing well. Slowly add the milk until it's smooth - not runny and not dough-y.
Spoon into the tins and bake for about 20 mins, maybe more... I didn't really keep an eye on the time - just stuck in a knife when it looked ready!
Cool for a couple of mins in the tin then on a cooling rack.
When the cakes are cool, spread with jam and sandwich. Sift a load of icing sugar into a bowl (didn't measure, again this is guess work) and add enough freshly squeezed lemon juice to get a 'just' runny mixture.
Pour the icing over the cake so it runs off the sides and pools around the bottom of the cake ♥ I love that bit ♥ yummy lemon-y icing sticking to the cake waiting to melt in your mouth. Mmmmmm!
