Step 1
Place the self-raising flour, butter, caster sugar, eggs and baking powder in a bowl.
Step 2
Mix with an electric whisker until combined.
Step 3
Mix the Daffy's Gin into your batter.
Step 4
We're going to be using the botanicals of the gin to flavour our cake. So finely chop two springs on mint and grate the zest of a lemon and a lime in to individual bowls.
Step 5
Add half of the mint and zest from the lemon and lime to your batter. Squeeze in the juice from half of the lemon and lime and stir to combine.
Step 6
Grease a loaf tin and scrape the batter in, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in a hot oven at 180 degrees C for 35 minutes until golden.
Step 8
While the cake is still warm, make the icing by mixing together the icing sugar with the remaining mint and lemon & lime zest (saving a little for sprinkling).
Step 9
Squeeze in the remaining juice from the lemon and lime and stir in the gin until the icing is smooth.
Step 10
Spoon the icing onto the cake and let it drizzle around the edges.
Step 11
Sprinkle the remaining zest on top and garnish with a few mint leaves.
