So yesterday I tried and tested a slimming world recipe for Lemon Drizzle cake I'd seen floating around the internet. I was amazed at how nice and just like the real deal it was by using just a few ingredients. For all you Slimming World followers its only 8 syns for the WHOLE cake, so can be enjoyed without any of the guilt!
Ingredients:
50g self-raising flour
Zest and juice of 2 lemons
5 eggs, separated
28g sweetener, I used honey but any sweetener of your choice will work.
Method:
1. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees and grease and line a loaf tin.
2. Mix the flour and sweetener in a bowl.
3. Zest both of the lemons using a grater and add the zest to the mixture.
4. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon into the mixture.
5. Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites and set the egg yolks aside. Add the egg yolks to the mixture and stir well to combine.
6. Whisk the egg whites in a separate bowl until they are fluffy and form soft peaks, then fold this into the mixture.
7. Add the mixture to a greased cake tray or loaf tin( both work fine) and bake in the oven at 180 degrees for 20-30 minutes.
8. For the icing: Mix 15g of sweetener with the juice of the other lemon to make a drizzle.
9. Allow the cake to cool a little when out of the oven, then pour the drizzle over the top of the cake and place it back into the oven for another 10 minutes until the top of the cake is nice and glazed.
That's how simple it is, yet it tastes just like the real deal. I would highly recommend trying this recipe out, you won't regret it!
Until next time,
