icing
Line a 14cm x 21 cm loaf pan. Preheat the oven to 180C. Sift flours, soda, spices and sugar into a large bowl. Stir in the combined egg and milk. Combine the butter and treacle in a saucepan, and stir constantly over low-moderate heat, without boiling, until butter is melted. Stir this hot mixture into the flour mixture. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for about 50 minutes. Stand for 5 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool. To make the icing, beat the butter and lemon rind in a small bowl with an electric mixer for a couple of minutes until creamy. Gradually beat in the sifted icing sugar and enough lemon juice to get to the taste and consistency you want. We all know what I think of Women's Weekly as an institution, but I do still keep using their recipe books. This is from the first Cakes and Slices cookbook. |
