Prep Time 10 minutes

Cooking Time 50 minutes

Ingredients

2 cups vanilla ice cream, melted
140 g self-raising flour
67 g caster sugar
2 lemons, zested
1 free-range egg
Salt, a pinch

For the sauce:

4 T water
155 g caster sugar
2 limes, juiced

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place all ingredients for the cake in a bowl and stir until incorporated. Pour into a 10 x 20 cm greased loaf tin and bake for 50 minutes, or until firm.

To make the sauce, place the water, sugar and citrus juices in a saucepan over a medium heat. Simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar, until reduced, about 8 minutes. Stir in the gin.
