Lemon "Bizcocho" (cake)

Lemon is always a good idea with warm weather! Sorry it has been awhile since my last post but I haven't had much time in the kitchen! Today however, I had the pleasure  to bake up a little something! A recipe I recently found on a lifestyle blog I follow... Lemon Drizzle Cake! 

Here is what you need:

- 3 eggs
- 170g flour
- 170g sugar
- 170g butter
- 1 tsp baking powder 

** if you want you can add the zests of lemon to the cake batter... But for my taste testers they prefer it without**

Icing:
- 2 lemons (juice will be for icing)
- 110g powder sugar 

** don't have powder sugar? Throw a cup of normal sugar into a food processor, pulse on full power for about 40 seconds and VOILA!!**



Instructions:

- Grab a tin or baking pan (approx. 24x10) and grease for cake batter.
- Preheat oven to 180C (350F) 
- Meanwhile, cream all the batter ingredients together until smooth
- pour into baking pan and into oven! 

Bake time: 30-35 minutes

- While the cake is baking, squeeze lemons for juice (don't forget to strain it!) 
- mix with powder sugar until smooth

Once your cake is ready, poke holes all over and glaze that baby! 

Give it some time to cool...  
Grab a nice iced tea.. Water.. Sit outside and enjoy your cake! :D 




Fresh out of the oven! 



Glazed and ready to be devoured! 

Good luck & Happy Summer!
