How to make Mary Berry’s Lemon Verbena Drizzle Cake

  1. Put all the ingredients into a large bowl, adding the lemon zest last.
  2. Beat the mixture with an electric mixer until smooth.
  3. Grease a baking tin — 23 x 30 centimeters — line it with non-stick paper and then pour the mixture into it.
  4. Bake at 160c for 35-40 minutes.
  5. While it is baking, make the lemon drizzle topping. Squeeze the juice of both lemons and put into a small bowl. Add 175 grams of granulated sugar, and mix. This drizzle is now ready to go onto the cake when it is baked.
  6. Remove the cake from the oven once it is ready, and leave it for 10 minutes to cool. Once cool, brush the lemon and sugar mixture across the top of the cake and let it soak in. Once all the mixture has soaked into the cake, it is ready to slice into small squares and serve.
