Lemon cake

By Herman Lensing

Serves Makes 1 x 18 cm cake

Difficulty Easy

Cooking Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

125 g softened butter
150 g caster sugar
2 free-range eggs
125 g self-raising flour
2 lemons, zested, plus 50 ml
icing sugar, for dusting

Method

1 Line a loaf tin of about 12 cm x 18 cm – or any other cake tin that will fit inside your air-fryer

basket – with baking paper and spray with non-stick food spray. Preheat the air-fryer to 160°C on the baking function.

2 Using an electric hand-mixer, beat the butter, sugar and eggs until light and creamy. Add the flour, lemon zest and juice, then mix until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared tin.

3 Air-fry for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Allow to cool. Turn out onto a serving platter and dust with icing sugar – it needs nothing more. Slice and serve.
