Blueberry & Lemon Drizzle Cake!

So today me and Jim Bob decided to bake a cake! We came across a recipe for blueberry and lemon drizzle cake but the measures looked a bit small..so we maximised them to make a huge fat drizzle cake! It is so lemony and sticky and moist and delicious we just wanted to eat the whole thing!!!

To make this delicious dish you will need..

350g self raising flour
200g butter
350g sugar
4 eggs
2 lemons zested
8 tbsp milk
150g blueberries

To ice the cake..

1 lemon juiced
75g sugar

1) Preheat oven to 180 and grease a cake tin with butter
2) Mix all the ingredients in a bowl apart from the blueberries and beat until smooth
3) Add half of the blueberries and carefully mix them in
4) Pour the mixture into a cake tin and then add the remaining blueberries to the top
5) Put in the oven for about 60-80 minutes. Until the cake is golden brown and just firm to the touch!
6) Take the cake out of the tin and put on a plate
7) Heat the lemon juice and sugar in a pan until boiling then remove from the heat
8) Whilst still warm, drizzle the lemon and sugar mixture over the cake
9) Leave the cake to cool for 20 minutes
10) Enjoy a slice with a nice cuppa!
