Serves 10
Ingredients
- 150g butter
- 150g caster sugar
- 150g flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 scoop (30g) Efectiv Lemon Cheesecake Whey protein powder
- 3 lemons
- 30g icing sugar
Method
The Cake
- Preheat your oven to 160°C and lightly grease a small loaf tin (8.5x5 inch)
- Zest and juice the lemons. Set aside.
- Cream together the butter and caster sugar.
- Beat together the 2 eggs and mix into the creamed butter and sugar.
- Gradually sift in the flour and 1 scoop of whey protein, beating until well mixed and fluffy.
- Finally, fold in the zest of two lemons and juice of one.
- Transfer into the greased loaf tin, loosely cover with foil and place in the oven to bake for 45 minutes, removing the foil halfway through baking time to allow the edges of the loaf to slightly crisp up.
The Syrup
- Meanwhile for the syrup, mix the juice of 2 lemons with 10g of icing sugar.
- Once the cake has been removed from the oven, poke holes in it with a skewer and pour over the syrup, allowing it to absorb and leaving the cake to cool completely.
The Icing
- Mix 20g icing sugar with a little water until it is a good drizzle consistency. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
- Finish by sprinkling over the zest of one lemon for decoration.
