Has anyone tried this recipe yet?

Lemon Drizzle Cake by Raymond Blanc

This lemon drizzle loaf cake is a French teatime favourite that Raymond Blanc has served at his restaurant for the past 25 years. The result is fresh, zesty and as light as a cloud.

Equipment and preparation: You will need a 26cm x 9cm x 8cm/10in x 3½in x 3in loaf tin.

Serves 12

PREPARATION 15 MINS
COOKING TIME 60 MINS

Ingredients

For the cake
5 free-range eggs
300g/11oz caster sugar
140ml/5fl oz double cream
3 lemons, zest only
1½ tbsp dark rum
1 pinch salt
80g/3oz unsalted butter, melted
240g/8½oz plain flour
½ tsp baking powder

For the apricot jam glaze
3 tbsp apricot jam, warmed in a small saucepan

For the lemon glaze
1 lemon, zest and juice
150g/5oz icing sugar

Preparation method

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.

Lightly butter a 26cm x 9cm x 8cm/10in x 3½in x 3in loaf tin and line it with greaseproof paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, cream, lemon zest, rum, salt and butter.
Sift the flour and baking powder into a separate bowl then whisk it into the egg mixture until you have a smooth batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes, turning halfway through cooking. The cake is cooked when a knife blade inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Remove the cake from the tin, turn onto a cooling rack and leave to cool for 10 minutes. This will allow the steam to escape before you glaze the cake. Leave the oven turned on.
Brush the cake with the warmed apricot glaze and leave for five minutes while you make the lemon glaze.

For the lemon glaze, mix together the lemon juice, zest and icing sugar.

Heat the mixture in a small pan, or in the microwave, until the sugar has dissolved and you have a syrup.

Brush the lemon glaze all over the cake and leave for a few minutes to set.

Place the glazed cake in the oven on a baking tray, turn off the heat and leave for 3-5 minutes to dry the glaze and turn it translucent.

Remove the cake from the oven and leave to cool to room temperature before serving.

Chef tips

"The lemon glaze must be even and thin; if it is too thick, it will run in the oven."

"Replace the lemons with other citrus fruit, such as oranges or grapefruit, using marmalade in place of the apricot jam."

We apologize, but our main LTP site has been hacked! :( We currently have a full site team working to restore it.

We just launched a whole bunch of new pages, a shop and trip is pending- I guess it opened up a gaping hole to our domain.

Anywho, keep enjoying a cuppa, our full site will be back soon (I hope) and with new and improved features!!

XO,
Lindsay
