Recipe : Gin and Tonic cake

Moist and super yummy if I don't say so myself

Ingredients for cake

• 4 large eggs
• 220g Stork baking margarine
• 220g caster sugar
• 220g self-raising flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 lemons
• 100ml dry gin

Ingredients for glaze

• 150ml gin
• 200g icing sugar
• Juice of 1 lemon

Method

• Grease and line a large-ish loaf tin, preheat oven to 180'C/Gas mark 4/160C fan
• Cream the butter and the sugar, add the eggs and beat until smooth.
• Sift the flour into the mixture along with the baking powder, fold into the cake mixture.
• Now add the zest of two lemons, and the juice from one of the lemons (set aside the second lemon for the glaze)
• Now add the 100ml of gin, give the mixture a good stir and then pour into your loaf tin.
• Bake in the oven for an hour
• Once cooked, remove from oven and set aside to cool.
• To make the glaze gently combine the juice, the icing sugar, and the gin in a bowl. You want the texture to be like a runny paste.
• Prick the cooled cake over and over all over the top with a fork. Now pour your glaze all over the top of the loaf cake.
• Leave for a couple of minutes and  you're ready to serve.
