TO PREPARE THE CAKE
Pre-heat the oven to 200°C (180°C for a fan oven) Gas Mark 6. Grease an 900g/2lb loaf tin and line with baking paper.
Empty the cake mix into a large bowl and add two eggs, 50g butter and 60ml (4 tablespoons) of water.
Whisk together on a low speed for 30 seconds until the mix is moistened, and then continue to whisk on a high speed for 2 minutes until thick and creamy. If using a balloon whisk or spoon, this will take longer.
Pour the mix into the lined loaf tin and bake in the centre of the oven for 25 – 30 minutes.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin a little, whilst preparing the drizzle topping.
TO PREPARE THE TOPPING
Place the drizzle topping mix into a bowl and add 15ml (3 teaspoons) of cold water.
Stir until well mixed. If the mix is too stiff, add a little more water – carefully, drop by drop.
TO FINISH THE CAKE
Remove the cake from the tin and place on a plate.
Carefully pierce the top of the cake with a skewer or fork to make a few small holes.
Pour the topping over the cake whilst still slightly warm - the topping will soak into the top of the cake and drizzle down the sides to give a lovely moist, zingy cake.
Enjoy served warm or cold.
