THE BEE’S KNEES.
Ingredients..... 225gm of butter/ marg, 300gm of runny honey, 100gm of dark muscovardo sugar, 250gm of self raising flour, 3 large eggs , lightly beaten,
For the icing....200gm of icing sugar, grated zest of 1 lemon.
Preheat your oven to 160 deg C.
Grease and line a 20 x 20 cm square cake pan.
Put the butter/ marg and sugar into a small saucepan and heat over a low heat, stirring until the butter/ marg has melted and the sugar is dissolved.
Remove the pot from the heat and set aside to cool, about 15 minutes.
When the mixture has cooled stir in the eggs and flour.
Don't worry if the mixture looks a little runny, what is important is that it is smooth.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 55 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Place a sheet of baking paper over the pan if the cake is browning too much.
When cooked through , remove the cake from the oven and turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the icing, add a few drops of water to the icing sugar and mix to a spreadable consistency.
Spoon the icing over the cooled cake and decorated with a sprinkle of grated lemon zest.
Slice and enjoy.
