New in the Neighbourhood Madeira Loaf Cake
What better way is there to meet and greet new neighbours then to offer them a moist Madeira Loaf and say hello!
Shopping List:
175 gr butter, softened
175 gr golden caster sugar
3 large eggs
grated zest of 1 lemon
2 drops of vanilla extract
200 gr self-raising flour
50 gr ground almonds
Preheat your oven to 170C and grease or spray and line your loaf tin with paper. Whisk your butter and sugar together until light and creamy and then beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add the lemon zest with the vanilla and then you beat in the flour and almonds until you have a sturdy mixture. If you feel it is too thick mix in a little splash of milk.
Pour this mixture into your prepared tin and smooth over the top. Bake for 55 minutes to 1 hour until your skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes. Turn out onto your wire rack and peel off the paper so it can cool down completely before you slice it. The loaf will keep fresh in an airtight container for 3 days. But i am sure by then the cake will be eaten already!
It is a simple and delicious cake!!!
It was the first cake i baked in our new house' kitchen. Phew!
"Enjoy"
