Ingredients
For the sponge
- 175 g butter, soften
- 175 g granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 225 g self-raising flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- zest of one lemon
- 2 tablespoon milk
For the drizzle
- 100 ml Elderflower cordial
- Juice of one lemon
- 30 g granulated sugar
For the glaze
- 150 g icing sugar
- 2 tablespoon Elderflower cordial
Instructions
- To make the sponge, use a hand mixer to cream together the butter and sugar.
- Add the eggs one by one, beating well after each addition.
- Sift in the flour and baking powder, add the milk and lemon zest, and mix to get a thick batter.
- Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius (340 Fahrenheit).
- Butter and flour a loaf tin, then spread the butter well.
- Bake for 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- To make the drizzle, mix the lemon juice, elderflower cordial and sugar.
- As soon as the cake is out of the oven, drizzle it well, then leave it to cool completely.
- To make the glaze, mix the sifted icing sugar with cordial to get a smooth, just runny mixture that will be drizzled over the cake.

- The servings can be adjusted by clicking the number next to Servings.
- the butter must be soft, but not melted - a hard butter won't be creamed well, and the texture of the cake will not be right
- beat the butter and the sugar well, the creamier, the better, as this will give the cake a nice rise
- grease and flour the loaf tin well, otherwise the cake will be difficult to remove - to pop it out, run a sharp knife around the edges of the cake
- leave to bake undisturbed for at least 40 minutes - the cake might sink in the middle if it's removed too early
