Ingredients
- 225 butter
- 225 g caster sugar
- 275 g self raising flour
- 4 large eggs
- 4 Tbsp semi skimmed milk
- 2 medium lemons rind and juice
- 1 Tbsp vanilla essence
Mr Kipling Icing
- 4 Tbsp icing sugar
- 2 large lemons juice only
- yellow food colouring
Kitchen Gadgets
- Cosori Air Fryer
- Hand mixer
Instructions
- Place into a bowl the butter and the caster sugar and use a hand mixer to mix until the fats are creamy and don’t have a gritty sugar texture.
- Next crack into the bowl your eggs, add your vanilla and your lemon zest and mix slowly with the hand mixer.
- Then add in slowly the flour and the milk along with the lemon juice from your medium lemons. Then mix well until you have a creamy lemon cake batter.
- Pour the cake batter into two silicone baking pans and then place the silicone into the air fryer.
- Air fry for 15 minutes at 180c/360f, then 10 minutes at 170c/340f followed by a final 10 minutes at 160c/320f. Or until a cocktail stick comes out clean. Then remove the lemon cakes from the air fryer and allow to cool, before peeling the silicone away from the cakes.
- Place the lemon cake on a chopping board and slice into fingers. I recommend slicing in half and then into 5ths. This then becomes 10 and discard the two ends as this will make your cake a rectangle. Then make sure they are close together so that it doesn’t look like you sliced it as it will make it easier for serving.
- Place the icing sugar and lemon juice from the two large lemons into a small bowl and mix with a spoon until you have a creamy, thick icing.
- Use a spoon to spoon on the icing and then place in the fridge for 30 minutes to harden.
- Next add a little yellow food colouring to the remaining icing in the bowl and mix well. Remove the cake from the fridge (after 30 mins) and using a spoon add a diagonal layer of yellow icing on top.
- Then fridge for a final hour before serving.

Notes
- Icing. Note that icing sugar in the US is called confectioner’s sugar.
- Quantity. This lemon cake batter made enough for two cakes. I made one into a round lemon drizzle cake and the second into a copycat Mr Kipling Lemon Slices. You can half the quantities and make just the lemon slices and it will make 8 or you can make 2 batches of the lemon slices and it will make 16.
- Zest. When doing the rind from the lemon aim for a very small grater. There is nothing worse than huge bits of lemon zest in your lemon cake.
