    Mint & lemon drizzle cake

    A classic lemon drizzle is pretty hard to beat. Whatever the weather, season or mood, I will choose this cake again and again. It’s got the perfect balance of sweet and sharp, and a soft, buttery crumb that gets drenched in lemony syrup. This version is still all of those things, but with some extra brightness and fragrance from a good handful of fresh mint. It’s such a simple twist that wins big on the flavour front, giving you a cake that’ll feel right at home at any time of the day.

    200g unsalted butter, plus extra for the tin
    250g caster sugar
    10g fresh mint leaves, plus extra to decorate
