Quick and simple recipe for Honey (or syrup) Cake with a hint of lemon. A light and fluffy dessert, served with cream or custard.

Ingredients

Cake Mix:
1 cup Flour
1/2 cup Sugar
4 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 cup Milk
3 tbsp Butter
1 Egg

Cake Topping:
3 tbsp Honey (or syrup)
1 1/2 tbsp Butter
1 tbsp Lemon Juice

Directions

Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

Heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan until lukewarm, beat in the egg & add to the sifted dry ingredients, blending well.

Turn the batter into a greased, round pie dish or cake tin (approx 21 cm/9 inch in size) & bake at 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4 for 15 to 20 minutes until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Place the honey, butter and lemon juice into a small saucepan and melt together over a gentle heat. Pour over the hot cake as soon as it comes out of the oven.
