The latest series of the Great British Bake Off continues this week as the contestants take on three more challenges. On the menu this week are Viennese sandwich biscuits and a "minty family favourite". For the showstopper, the contestants will be tasked with making their own biscuit puppet theatres.
If last week's cake-themed episode got you feeling hungry, you may be looking for a quick and easy recipe for a sweet treat. Luckily, you can get in on the cake action with a simple lemon drizzle loaf cake, perfect for snacking on. Cakes are usually oven-baked, but if you're looking to save energy, why not give your air fryer a spin? BBC Good Food has shared a winning six-ingredient recipe for an air fryer loaf cake, reports the Mirror .
You'll need just a handful of common ingredients that are likely already in your pantry. Here's how to make an air fryer lemon drizzle cake. Ingredients 250g butter, at room temperature 250g caster sugar 4 eggs 250g self-raising flour 3 lemons, zested and juiced 100g icing sugar Method Line a loaf tin with greaseproof paper.
Tip the butter, sugar, eggs, flour, a pinch of salt and two-thirds of the lemon zest into a bowl, then beat with an electric whisk for four to five minutes until pale and fluffy. Heat the air-fryer to 160C. Spoon the cake mixture into the prepared tin, smoothing the surface.
Cook in the air fryer for one hour to one hour and ten minutes. You can check if the cake is cooked all the way through by inserting a skewer in the cent.
