Ingredients
  

  • 225 g (1 cup) softened butter
  • 225 g (1 cup) caster sugar
  • 275 g (2 ¼ cup) self-raising flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 tbsp milk
  • 2 Grated rind of a lemons
For the lemon drizzle
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 175 g (¾ cup) granulated sugar
For the icing
  • Icing sugar
  • 50g (¼ cup) icing / confectioners sugar

Method
 

  1. Pre heat the oven to 180C / 160C Fan
  2. Get your child to grease a 30 x 23 cm tin with a little butter then line the with baking paper.
Mix all the ingredients together
  1. Measure the flour, sugar and butter and baking powder into your bowl/mixer.
  2. Crack the eggs into a separate bowl, then add into your mixture. Add the milk.
  3. Using the small side of your grater, grate the rind of the lemon and add to the bowl.
  4. Mix everything together until it’s well blended.
Bake the lemon slice
  1. Pour the mixture into your tin and level the top with a spatula.
  2. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until the cake has shrunk away from the sides of the tin and springs back when pressed gently with your fingers.
Add the lemon drizzle
  1. Squeeze the lemons into a small bowl and add the granulated sugar. Keep a tablespoon of lemon juice aside for the lemon icing later if you're doing it.
  2. As soon as your traybake comes out the oven, poke some holes in it with a cocktail stick and pour over the lemon drizzle.
  3. Leave to cool in the tin.
Ice the lemon slice
  1. Take your tablespoon of lemon juice and add some icing sugar until you have a nice runny consistency. Drizzle it over your cake.
    Leave it to set before cutting.
