Lemon Drizzle Cake & Lemon Curd

with White Chocolate Ganache | Serves 6+

Zingy, bright and oh-so tasty! Lemon drizzle cake gets its name from a sweet lemony syrup that's poured over the cake while it's still warm to ensure it stays moist, tender and totally infused with zesty citrus flavours.

Cooking Steps

1
1

• Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Grease and line the loaf tin with baking paper. • Measure 200g of the butter and set aside at room temperature to soften. Weigh out 100g of icing sugar. • Zest lemons, then juice (you should get about 1/4 cup juice).

TIP: Weigh out your ingredients before you start as we've sent a bit extra icing sugar!

• In a large bowl, place caster sugar and softened butter. Beat with electric beaters until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs and beat until smooth, 1-2 minutes. • Using a spoon, fold in basic sponge mix, lemon zest and the milk until just combined. • Pour cake batter into the lined loaf tin. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until golden and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.

TIP: Softened butter is easier to beat and helps your cake have a light texture!

• While the cake is baking, place white chocolate chips in a medium heatproof bowl. • In a small saucepan, heat light cooking cream over medium heat until just steaming, 2-3 minutes. • Pour cream over chocolate, then stir until melted and combined. Refrigerate until thickened, 20-30 minutes.

TIP: You want the cream steaming but not boiling!

• When the cake has 10 minutes bake time remaining, wash out the saucepan. • Add 1/4 cup lemon juice and the measured icing sugar to pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and starting to simmer, 3-4 minutes.

• When the cake is finished baking and still hot, poke a few holes into the cake, then slowly pour lemon syrup over cake. • Set aside to cool completely in the tin.

• Transfer cake to a serving plate. Spread with white chocolate ganache. • Slice and serve with lemon curd. Enjoy!
