Ingredients 

Main Ingredients

  • 200 g gluten-free self-raising flour
  • 200 g caster sugar
  • 200 g butter softened
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 lemons zested and juiced

For the Drizzle

  • 100 g icing sugar
  • 1 lemon juiced

Instructions 

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until pale and creamy.
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, slowly mixing through.
  4. Sift in the flour and baking powder, then add the lemon zest. Mix until well combined.
  5. Pour the mixture into a greased and lined baking tin and bake for 40 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
  6. While the cake is cooling in its tin, mix together the icing sugar and lemon juice to make the drizzle.
  7. Prick the warm cake all over with a fork and pour over the drizzle. The juice will sink in and the sugar will form a lovely, crisp topping.
  8. Leave in the tin until completely cool, then remove and serve.
