Ingredients

This delicious cake is made with just six ingredients, all of which are easy to find in your local grocery store. You will need:

  • 150g (5.3 oz) butter, softened
  • 150g (5.3 oz) caster sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 150g (5.3 oz) self-raising flour
  • 2 lemons, zested and juiced
  • 1 lime, zested and juiced

Instructions

This cake is easy to make and comes together quickly. Start by preheating your oven to 180C (350F). Then, in a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the flour and mix until combined.

Once the batter is ready, add the zest of both the lemons and the lime. Then, slowly add the juice of both lemons and the lime, mixing until it is all incorporated. Grease a 20cm (8in) round cake tin and pour in the batter. Bake for 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.

When the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack. To make the drizzle, mix together the remaining lemon and lime juice with some icing sugar. Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the mixture over the top and let it set before serving.
