Instructions
For the Cake!
Preheat your oven to 180C/160C Fan and line a
9x13" traybake tin
with parchment paper.
Beat together your butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add in the eggs, flour and lime zest and beat again until smooth.
Pour into the tin and bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes, or until baked through.
For the Drizzle!
Add your sugar, gin and tonic to a pan, and heat on a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.
Carefully prick the top of the cake with a fork/skewer, and then pour the drizzle over the cake.
Leave the cake to cool fully in the tin!
For the Buttercream!
Make sure your butter is at room temperature. Beat on its own for a few minutes to really loosen it and make it supple.
Add in your icing sugar and beat again until smooth.
Carefully add in the gin one spoonful at a time, beating each time, until mixed in and delicious.
Spread over the top of the cake, and the sprinkle with lime zest, or whatever you fancy for decoration!
Notes
I recommend using a
9x13" traybake tin
for this recipe.
This cake will last for 3-4 days once made.
Use any gin you fancy, and any tonic!
