Lemon Tea Cake
A delightful afternoon tea cake, with just the right balance of sweetness and citrus! This one didn't last long in my house :-) Thanks to www.taste.com.au.
Ingredients
Melted butter, to grease
200g (1 1/3 cups) plain flour
150g (1 cup) self-raising flour
285g (1 1/3 cups) caster sugar
150g butter, melted, cooled
3 eggs
100ml milk
1 tbs finely grated lemon rind
125ml (1/2 cup) fresh lemon juice
150g (1 cup) pure icing sugar, sifted
Lemon rind, zested, to decorate
Method
Preheat oven to 180°C. Brush a 22cm (top measurement) bundt pan with melted butter. Sift combined flour into a bowl. Stir in caster sugar. Make a well in the centre. Whisk the butter, eggs, milk, lemon rind and 100ml of lemon juice in a bowl until combined.
Add the lemon mixture to the flour mixture and stir until well combined. Spoon into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into cake comes out clean. Turn onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Place cake on a serving platter. Combine the icing sugar and remaining lemon juice in a small bowl. Spoon icing over the cake and decorate with lemon rind. Set aside to set.
I'm going to make this for the kids for after school. It sounds so yummy!
