Lemony Muffins

Lemony Muffins

This lovely cake recipe is perfect after a big feast when you would like to eat dessert but not something too heavy. Refreshing and very light you can bake the mixture in muffin trays and have little individual muffins. If you don’t have a Muffin tray don’t worry just use a cake baking tray and serve the cake in small slices.

Syrup:

• 300gr sugar
• 250ml water

4. In a large bowl mix the sugar and the butter until they are light and fluffy.
5. Add the eggs one by one and mix well.
6. Add the rest of the ingredients and then add the flour slowly while mixing.
7. Once the mixture is ready you can either add the mixture in on baking tray or in little individual muffin trays.
