Lemon Drizzle Cake

Nice, light cake with an added citrus zing and not too unhealthy...

Grease and lightly flour a loaf or cake tin of similar volume.

Preheat oven to 180ºC or 350ºF

Cream (mix thoroughly)
½ cup butter
1 cup caster sugar

Beat in
1 beaten egg
2 tbsp yogurt
½ cup of milk

Sieve and beat into mixture
1½ cups of flour
1 tsp baking powder

Cook for about an hour checking the top for burning and, late into cooking, skewer. If the skewer is clean then it's done.

While cooking mix
juice of one lemon
¼ cup of caster sugar

Wait until the cake is cool before piercing holes in the top and drizzling the mixture over it.

Nice with custard!
