Lemon and Blueberry Drizzle Cake

DSCF2362 (600x450)

I made this delicious cake to take on a holiday and share with friends.  It is a traditional lemon drizzle cake with added blueberries (from the garden) which add a bit of interest.  I forgot to take photographs when I was making it but basically butter and sugar are creamed together along with the zest from 2 lemons, then eggs are beaten in and flour folded in.  The blueberries are added at the last minute and just gently folded in – if you toss them in flour first it stops them all sinking to the bottom.  The cake is then baked.  I made it in a very large loaf tin – about 30cm x 15cm.  The juice from the lemons is then mixed with icing sugar and, whilst the cake is still hot, holes are poked in the cake with a skewer and the icing is poured over.  The resulting cake was very popular and lasted only one day!
