Elderflower and lemon drizzle cake
Prep:
15 mins
Cook:
20 mins
175g plain flour
2 tsp Dr. Oetker baking powder
175g butter, softened
175g caster sugar
3 medium eggs, lightly beaten
1 tbsp Dr. Oetker orange and lemon slices, to decorate
For the cream filling:
350ml double cream
3 tbsp elderflower cordial
1 tsp Dr. Oetker natural lemon extract
2 tbsp icing sugar
For the drizzle:
225g icing sugar, sifted
3 tbsp elderflower cordial
Heat the oven to Mark 5/190°C. Grease and base-line three 18cm sandwich tins. Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar using an electric whisk.
Gradually beat in the eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar, then fold in the flour.
Divide between the three tins and bake for 15-20 mins until risen, golden and firm to the touch. Leave to cool in the tins before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the cream filling, whisk all the ingredients until thick (don’t over-whip). For the drizzle, stir the sugar and cordial together until smooth.
Sandwich the cake together with the cream, pour over the drizzle and decorate with lemon slices.
