Mojito loaf cake.

Ingredients.

3 large eggs

200g butter

200g caster sugar

200g self raising flour

grated zest of a lime

4 sprigs of mint, leaves stripped and finely chopped

Juice of 1 lime made up to 50 ml with white rum.

Drizzle

2 tbsp lime juice

2 tbsp white rum

4 tbsp granulated sugar

Icing

1 cup icing sugar

Enough white rum or lime juice to make icing thick as double cream

How to….

• Preheat the oven to 180c
• Line a loaf tin with parchment or a loaf tin liner.
• Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in an egg at a time, add a spoon of flour with each egg to prevent the mixture splitting.
• Fold in the flour, lime zest and the chopped mint.
• Stir in the rum and lime juice.
• Scrape out of the bowl into the loaf tin.
• Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean from the cake.
• Mix together the drizzle and pour over the cooked cake as it is cooling in the tin.
• Once completely cool, make up the icing. Make sure the top of the cake is covered,if the icing falls down the sides, all the better.
