The Recipe

Ingredients:

(Approximate non-metric equivalents are given in the video above)

• 175g soft butter
• 175g Self-raising flour
• 175g Caster sugar
• 3 Large eggs - (ideally that have been allowed to warm to room temperature*)
• 1 Lemon
• 1 Orange
• 2 tablespoons icing (powdered) sugar
• 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder

Method:

Using a citrus zester or a grater, remove the zest (outer rind) from the orange and lemon and set aside.

Squeeze the juice from the lemon and also from half the orange - set aside.

Preheat your oven to 180C (approximately 350F or Gas Mark 4)

Put the flour, butter, caster sugar, eggs, baking powder and grated zest in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly until completely smooth.

Spoon the mixture into muffin cases in a muffin tin. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.

While the cakes are baking, stir the icing sugar into the squeezed juice - spoon this mixture over the tops of the cakes as soon as they come out of the oven - before they cool.
