Ingredients

  • 225 g Unsalted butter At room temperature
  • 225 g Caster sugar
  • 4 Free range eggs
  • 225 g Self raising flour
  • 1 Orange Zest only
  • 75 Pimms

For the drizzle:

  • 100 g Caster sugar
  • 75 ml Pimms
  • 1 Orange Juice only

To decorate:

  • A handful of strawberries, cucumber, mint and orange segments

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C.
  • Beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs one by one until combined. Wipe down the sides of the bowl between each addition.
  • Add the flour, orange zest and Pimms, and stir in until totally combined.
  • Pour the batter into a loaf tin, lined with baking paper.
  • Bake for 35 - 45 until a skewer comes out clean.
  • Whilst the cake is still hot and in the tin, prick it all over with a skewer (or thin knife). 
  • Mix the sugar, Pimms and orange juice in a small bowl and drizzle over the cake. It may take a while to sink into the cake, so you may need to add it slowly.
  • Allow to cool in the tin, then turn out, and top with the fruit just before serving.
