This Elderflower and Lemon Cake is light, airy, and bursting with delicate flavors. It’s the perfect treat to enjoy while admiring beautiful art, or any time you need a little dose of magic in your day.
Elderflower and Lemon Cake Ingredients:
* 225g (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened * 225g (1 cup + 2 tbsp) caster sugar * 4 large eggs * 225g (1 3/4 cups) self-raising flour * 2 tbsp milk * Zest of 2 lemons * 4 tbsp elderflower cordial For the Elderflower Icing:
* 200g (1 3/4 cups) icing sugar * 2-3 tbsp elderflower cordial ### Elderflower and Lemon Cake Instructions:
- Prepare the Oven and Tin: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas Mark 4). Grease and line a 20cm (8 inch) round cake tin with baking parchment.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy. This might take a few minutes, but it’s worth it for the texture!
- Beat in Eggs: Gradually beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. If the mixture starts to curdle, add a tablespoon of flour.
- Fold in Flour: Gently fold in the self-raising flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough cake.
- Add Milk, Zest and Cordial: Stir in the milk, lemon zest, and elderflower cordial. This will give the cake its signature flavor and moistness.
- Pour into Tin and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the Icing: While the cake is cooling, prepare the elderflower icing. In a bowl, sift the icing sugar and gradually add the elderflower cordial, mixing until you have a smooth, spreadable icing. You might need to add a little more cordial to reach the desired consistency.
- Ice the Cake: Once the cake is completely cool, spread the elderflower icing evenly over the top. You can decorate it with edible flowers, lemon zest, or a dusting of icing sugar for an extra touch of elegance.
- Serve and Enjoy! Cut the cake into slices and serve. Enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee, and let the delicate flavors transport you to a summer garden.
