Now that I'm a little more settled I've finally found some time to get down to some baking, something I've really missed doing while being at university. I had a good think and realised that I'd never actually baked a lemon drizzle cake before, so I decided it was high time I gave one a go.

I wanted to keep things relatively simple so I used Mary Berry's all-in-one method. As you could possibly guess from the title of this post, I'm a massive Bake Off fan and I especially love Mary Berry. Her recipes are simple and reliable, perfect for home cooking as you know if you follow the recipe it will turn out exactly as you expect.

For
this lemon drizzle cake you simply add the self-raising flour, softened butter, caster sugar, eggs, baking powder, milk and grated lemon rind to a bowl, then mix until you have a smooth batter. Pre-heat the oven, grease a baking tray and bake the tray bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes until it is brown and risen.

For the glaze you just need to mix lemon juice with granulated sugar and drizzle over the cake while it's still warm. Cut into squares and enjoy with a nice cup of coffee (I acquired this habit while in Germany where 'Kaffee und Kuchen' - coffee and cake - is very popular).
