Zingy, bright and oh-so tasty! Lemon drizzle cake gets its name from a sweet lemony syrup that's poured over the cake while it's still warm to ensure it stays moist, tender and totally infused with zesty citrus flavours. *The current labour shortages have impacted availability of ingredients across the entire food supply chain.

Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Grease and line the loaf tin with baking paper. • Measure 200g butter and set aside at room temperature to soften. Weigh 100g icing sugar. Zest lemons, then juice (you should get about 1/4 cup juice).
TIP: Weigh out your ingredients before you start as you'll receive a little extra icing sugar!
• In a large bowl, place caster sugar and softened butter. Beat with electric beaters until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs and beat until smooth, 1-2 minutes. Using a spoon, fold in basic sponge mix, lemon zest and the milk until just combined. • Pour cake batter into the lined loaf tin. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until golden and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
TIP: Softened butter is easier to beat and helps your cake have a light texture!
• Meanwhile, place cream in a large bowl and whisk with electric beaters until almost doubled in size and soft peaks form, 3-4 minutes. • Gently fold passionfruit lemon sauce through cream to combine. Refrigerate.
TIP: If you don't have an electric mixer, use a metal whisk.
TIP: For the perfect soft peaks, whip until the cream just clings to the whisk or beater when lifted.
• When the cake has 10 minutes bake time remaining, wash out the saucepan. Add 1/4 cup lemon juice and measured icing sugar to pan. • Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and starting to simmer, 3-4 minutes.
• When the cake is finished baking and still hot, poke a few holes into the cake, then spoon lemon syrup over cake. Set aside to cool completely in tin. • Meanwhile, heat a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast shredded coconut and slivered almonds until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Transfer cake to a serving plate and spread with passionfruit lemon cream. Top with coconut almond crunch. • Slice and serve. Enjoy!
