Ingredients:
- 200g self-raising flour
- 200g butter
- 200g caster sugar
- 3 medium eggs
- 2 lemons (zest and juice)
- 30ml milk (adjust based on batter consistency)
For the drizzle:
- 75g caster sugar
- Lemon juice (from the lemons above)
Instructions:
- Prepare the batter: Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the lemon zest and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
- Add dry ingredients: Sift the flour into the mixture and fold gently to combine. Stir in the milk to reach a smooth, pourable batter consistency.
- Bake in the air fryer: Grease a baking tin or line it with baking paper. Pour the batter into the tin and smooth the top. Place the tin in the air fryer basket. Cook at 150°C for 30-40 minutes, depending on your air fryer model. If the top browns too quickly, cover with foil.
- Make the drizzle: Mix the remaining lemon juice with 75g of caster sugar. Once the cake is done, poke holes across the top with a skewer and pour the drizzle over, letting it soak in.
This cake is perfect for a quick and easy dessert that still feels special. Enjoy! 🍋
