Andsome's lemon drizzle cake.

4 ounces soft margarine

6 ounces caster sugar

6 ounces self raising flour

2 eggs

3-4 table spoons milk

Grated zest of one lemon

Cream together the sugar and margarine, and blend in the eggs. Mix in the other ingredients and put into a lined loaf tin, Place into a COLD oven, then switch on to 180 degrees C, and cook for 45 to 50 minutes. (Ovens do vary). The cake should be a nice pale brown, you can test it with a skewer. Remove from oven and prick well all over with a skewer. Pour the topping over the cake spreading and working it in with a spoon and leave to cool.

TOPPING

4 ounces icing sugar and the juice of a lemon mixed well.
PLEASE NOTE. I really do mean a COLD OVEN. cool

Best to skewer it and start applying the icing sugar and lemon while it is still warm, it soaks up a lot more. In fact it is so soft and light that you will need a fork or spoon to eat it. eat2

Weird?? I was visiting friends in Tossa de Mar yesterday and they produced lemon drizzle cake with coffee. It was purchased in 'Lidle's'.....It was bloody delicious and cost 1.99 Euros for a 300g cake...

Baking from cold seems a bit odd to me. What if any are the advantages supposed to be?
