Lemon and Lime Loaf Cake
A favourite teatime treat, perfect for using up older lemons and limes. An updated version of the classic drizzle cake, this loaf is sweet, citrusy, and unmistakably moreish.
Ingredients
- 2 lemons
- 1 lime
- 80g Hillfarm cold pressed Rapeseed Oil
- 40g butter
- 225g caster sugar
- 3 eggs
- 200g self-raising flour
- 4 tbsp natural yogurt
- icing sugar
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Thoroughly grease a 30cm loaf tin with Hillfarm cold pressed rapeseed oil.

- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well before adding the next.
- Carefully fold in the flour and yoghurt.
- Pour mixture into the tin and bake for 45 minutes.
- While the cake is in the oven, make the drizzle topping. Juice the lemons and lime, and pour into a small saucepan with 3 tsp of caster sugar.
- Heat slowly, stirring until the sugar has dissolved before removing from the heat.
- Take the cake out of the oven, and make holes all over with a toothpick or skewer.
- Pour the warm syrup over the cake and leave to cool for at least 20 minutes.
- Before serving, sprinkle with sifted icing sugar.
