Lime Drizzle Cake







Lime Drizzle Cake  
 
6 oz butter
5 oz sugar
3 large eggs
8oz S R flour + I tsp baking powder
3 tbs milk  ( or coconut milk)
Juice and zest from 2 large or 3 small limes         
Oven gas 5

Cream the butter and sugar together with 1tbs milk till smooth and fluffy. I used a food processor. Add the eggs and the other 2 tbs milk and blend till thoroughly mixed.

Add the flour, baking powder, all the zest and the juice of half a lime, blend for a short time or mix gently by hand. Don’t over mix at this stage.

Put the mix into a buttered baking tin size 8x 10 in and bake for 25min. Stick a skewer into the centre of the cake, if it comes out sticky give the cake another 5 min then test again.

Mix the lime juice  with 3 heaped dessert spoons of sugar and pour over the cake in the tin while still warm.
