Method
- Cream the butter and sugar together until it is light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each one.
- Mix in the lemon zest from the two lemons and 2 tbsp juice, reserving the rest for the drizzle.
- Sift the flour into the mixture, folding gently to combine without overmixing.
- Stir the milk in to reach a smooth pourable batter consistency.
- Prepare the baking tin by greasing it or lining with baking paper. Pour the batter into the tin and smooth the top.
- Place the tin into the air fryer basket and if your air fryer has a bake function, use that, if not, use the air fryer function. Cook at 150°C for 30 to 40 minutes.
- If the top is browning too quickly, wrap some foil over the top, securing it down around the tin.
- The cake is ready when the top is browned and a skewer comes out clean. If the inside is still uncooked, cook for a little longer.
- Carefully remove the tin from the air fryer basket and place on a wire rack. Using a skewer, poke holes across the top.
- Mix the remaining juice from the lemons with 75g of caster sugar and pour over the top of the cake so that it drizzles down the holes.
- The lemon drizzle cake can be served like this, or you can decorate with some icing.
Notes
This cake is perfect for tea time or as a sweet ending to any meal. You can also use other citrus fruits for variation.
