Method

step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4, grease and line a 2lb loaf tin with greaseproof paper.
step 2
In a large bowl, mix the plain flour (250 g), brown sugar (200 g), baking powder (2 tsp) and salt (1/2 tsp). Add the raspberries (150 g) and gently toss them into the flour mixture, then set aside.
step 3
In a medium bowl, mix the eggs (2), melted butter (110 g), yogurt (130 g), vanilla extract (1 tsp) and lemon zest (1). Add the egg mix to the bowl with the dry ingredients, gently folding it together until combined.
step 4
Transfer the batter into the prepared tin and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown. To check it is cooked, insert a toothpick in the middle of the cake – if it comes out clean, it is baked. Remove from the oven and leave to cool for around 10 minutes.
step 5
Meanwhile, make your limoncello icing drizzle. Whisk together the limoncello (60 ml) with the caster sugar (70 g) until well combined. Once combined, crush the raspberries (1 handful) into the drizzle and mix.
step 6
Evenly poke small holes into the cake, then evenly drizzle the icing all over. Leave it for a few minutes to let the drizzle seep through, then serve.
