Lemon Drizzle Cake & Almond-Walnut Crunch
with Passionfruit Lemon Sauce | Serves 6+
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.

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 lemon, 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!
• While the cake is baking, place white chocolate chips in a medium heatproof bowl. • In a small saucepan, heat cream (see ingredients) over medium heat until just steaming, 1-2 minutes. • Pour cream over chocolate chips, then stir until melted and combined. Refrigerate until thickened, 20-30 minutes.
TIP: You want the cream steaming but not boiling!
• 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 sugar has dissolved and syrup is starting to simmer, 3-4 minutes.
• When the cake has finished baking and is still hot, poke a few holes into the cake, then spoon lemon syrup over cake. Set aside to cool completely in tin. • Meanwhile, roughly chop walnuts. Heat a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast walnuts and slivered almonds until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Transfer lemon drizzle cake to a serving plate and spread with white chocolate ganache. Top with almond-walnut crunch. • Slice and serve with passionfruit lemon sauce. Enjoy!
