Ingredients 

250ml Soya Milk

200g Sugar and Crumbs Lemon Drizzle Natural Flavoured Icing Sugar

225g Self Raising flour

200g Vegan Non-Dairy Butter

1 Tsp Baking Powder

2 Tsp Lemon Juice

Zest of 1 Lemon

For the Lemon Drizzle

3 Tbsp Castor Sugar

Juice of half a lemon

Glace Icing Topping

250g Sugar and Crumbs Lemon Drizzle Natural Flavoured Icing Sugar

Enough cold water to make a spreadable consistency

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 160c Gas mark 2, 300F, Grease and line your rectangle baking tin, we used a 10-inch

2. Cream together the Non-Dairy Butter and Natural Flavoured Icing Sugar until it is light and fluffy.

3. Add the Baking Powder to the Self Raising flour and add to the Non Dairy butter mix.

4. Now slowly add the Soya milk mixing at a low speed until all the ingredients have combined, then add the Lemon Juice and mix at medium-high speed for no more than 30 seconds.

5. Decant the cake batter into your prepared tin and spread it evenly in the tin.

6. Cook in the oven for 40 minutes or until the cake is firm to the touch or a cake tester when inserted into the cake comes out clean.

7. Whilst the cake is baking prepare your lemon drizzle syrup by mixing the castor sugar and the juice of half a lemon.

8. when your cake has baked, remove it from the oven and whilst it is still hot drizzle the lemon syrup all over the cake.

9. Set aside to cool completely on a wire cooling rack.

10. Mix the 250g of Sugar and Crumbs Lemon Drizzle Natural flavoured Icing sugar with enough water to form a medium-thick Glacé Icing which is spreadable.

11. Spread the Glacé Icing over the top of the cake and decorate with lemon zest or colour a little of the white icing yellow and pipe thin lines of yellow icing approximately 2inches apart width ways on the cake. You can then achieve a feathered look using a cocktail stick and dragging it lengthways down the cake. Change the direction of the dragging on every turn to achieve the feathered look. ie drag left to right 1st line then right to left 2nd line and so on.
