Lemon drizzle is a classic British cake that is beloved for its moist texture and refreshing, tangy flavor. This simple yet delicious cake is perfect for afternoon tea, dessert, or any time you crave a burst of citrus. The defining feature of a lemon drizzle cake is the sweet and tangy lemon syrup that is poured over the cake while it is still warm, allowing it to soak in and create a deliciously sticky glaze.

Tips for Perfect Lemon Drizzle
Zesting: Use a fine grater or zester to get only the outer yellow part of the lemon peel, avoiding the bitter white pith.
Juicing: Roll the lemons on the counter before juicing to maximize the amount of juice extracted.
Syrup Soak: Pour the syrup over the cake while it is still warm to ensure it absorbs fully and creates a moist, flavorful cake.
