Zest of 2 lemons
Juice of 1 lemon
10ozs/300g s.r. flour
TOPPING
Juice of 2 lemons 1 tb icing sugar, 1 tb Half Spoon sugar
Get baking!
Preheat the oven to 150C, 300F, Gas Mark 2. Cream together the margarine and Half spoon sugar in a large bowl. Gradually mix in the beaten eggs. Stir in the flour, baking powder and lemon juice and zest.
Pour the mixture into a loaf tin and level the top with a knife. Bake in the centre of the oven for 1hr 40 minutes until risen and golden brown.
To make the topping, mix together the lemon juice and half spoon sugar and drizzle over the top of the cake while the cake is hot. Allow to cool before slicing.
Looking forward to seeing your delicious attempts at Marie’s recipe!
