  • 225g unsalted butter, softened
  • 225g caster sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 225g self-raising flour
  • finely grated zest 1 lemon

For the drizzle topping

  • juice 1½ lemons
  • 85g caster sugar
  • Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4.
  • Beat together 225g softened unsalted butter and 225g caster sugar until pale and creamy, then add 4 eggs, one at a time, slowly mixing through.
  • Sift in 225g self-raising flour, then add the finely grated zest of 1 lemon and mix until well combined.
  • Line a loaf tin (8 x 21cm) with greaseproof paper, then spoon in the mixture and level the top with a spoon.
  • Bake for 45-50 mins until a thin skewerinserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
  • While the cake is cooling in its tin, mix together the juice of 1 ½ lemons and 85g caster sugar to make the drizzle.
  • Prick the warm cake all over with a skewer or fork, then pour over the drizzle – the juice will sink in and the sugar will form a lovely, crisp topping.
  • Leave in the tin until completely cool, then remove and serve. Will keep in an airtight container for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.

10 Scientific Benefits of Being a Cat Owner

-

Studies have shown that just watching cat videos on the internet can boost a person's energy and create positive emotions—so it's no surprise that actual cat ownership has a number of benefits. Here are a few. 1. OWNING A CAT IS BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. If you're worried about your carbon footprint, it’s better to own a cat than a dog. A 2009 study found that the resources needed to feed a dog over the course of its life create the same eco-footprint as that of a Land Cruiser. Meanwhile, cats—which eat less in general and are more likely to eat fish than corn- or beef-flavored products—only have the approximate carbon footprint of a small hatchback. 2. THEY'LL HELP YOU COPE ... Losing a loved one is incredibly painful, but one of the best ways of coping is to own a pet. Cats have been shown to help people get over their loss more quickly, and show less physical symptoms of pain, like crying. Despite the fact that they are only animals, cats serve as a so...

Introduction

 First of all, Hi :) This is my first ever blog post on my first ever blog, so please forgive me. I want to start off my introducing myself. My name will remain unknown and you shall know me as H.M.S. (I'm a closeted  blogger [for now]). I am from South Africa and grew up in a small country town with beautiful  views, but that  is about it. My parents didn't have the resources to send me to college  or university, so as soon as I was finished with high school I started the search for a job. I don't know how difficult  it is where you are from, but here if you don't have the correct appearance  or qualifications it is extremely difficult  to find any kind of work. I was still dating my high school sweetheart by that time and he put in a good word for me with his work and so I started working there. I have been working here ever since. It has been really difficult as I received minimum wage, because I didn't have any work experience. Just m...
