Lemon Drizzle
INGREDIENTS – serves 12
125g soft margarine/butter
175g caster sugar
175g self raising flour
2 eggs
2 small lemons- rind only
65ml milk
LEMON SYRUP
175g granulated sugar
Juice pf 2 lemons
METHOD
1. Line a square tin with greaseproof paper
2. Preheat oven to 180oC
3. Cream the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy
4. Add eggs and whisk one by one
5. Sieve in the flour a 1/3 at a time and fold in before adding more. Add 1tbsp of lemon juice into the mix
6. Pour cake mixture into the prepared square tin and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes
7. Meanwhile, make the lemon syrup. Dissolve the granulated sugar in the lemon juice on a low heat
8. When the cooking time is up, test that the cake is done by pushing a metal skewer into the centre. If it comes out clean, it’s done
9. While the cake is still on greaseproof, place it onto a cooling rack
10. Pierce the cake all over with the skewer and spoon the lemon syrup all over the cake until you have used all the syrup – it isn’t too messy if you leave it on the greaseproof paper
Enjoy : ) x

Hi!
I'm Bea, as well as being new to the world of blogging I have been a food teacher in secondary schools for four years. I live just outside Manchester and all its foodie offerings. I'll be posting all about travel, food I enjoy, whether it's at a restaurant, a recipe I've trialled or something I have knocked up myself. I will also add a few drinks here and there because let's face it, it's got to be done!
I am lucky enough to have grown up with a variety of influences, my mum is from Zimbabwe, my dad is from Ghana and I grew up in a village in the North West, so food has always been a blend and balance of cultures for me.
From being little, food has played a large part in our family, whether it be for celebrations, commiserations or comfort. I began helping out in the kitchen from a young age and was fortunate enough to be given the reins on occasion from about the age of 11.
I love being in the kitchen and having the opportunity to create something to make others smile. Whether it be an autumnal main or a gooey dessert :) I have 3 bottomless pits I call brothers as well as a fiance and they are more than happy to try what I make and be extremely blunt so I welcome all comments : )
I am a total believer in happy eating. Food should put a smile on your face no matter if it is a weekday after work dinner or a special occasion. I love following recipes and do think it is sometimes a necessity but I also think that food should be personal and geared towards what you like and I hope this comes across in my blog.
I hope you enjoy reading my posts, let me know if you stop by, it will definitely put a smile on my face!
