Start by putting the butter and sugar into a large mixing bowl ...
Cream together until pale and fluffy, add the grated zest of 1 lemon and fold in the flour ...
When combined, pour the batter into a greased / lined tin (I used my funky pink silicone bake ware again!), then bake at 180oC for between 35-45 minutes ...
While the cake was baking, I made a simple lemon syrup by dissolving 125g of caster sugar into the juice of 1.5 lemons , I let it boil for 1-2 minutes to thicken, added the grated zest of another lemon, then set it aside to cool until needed ...
Once the cake was baked, I used a skewer and made lots of little holes all over the surface, then poured the cooled lemon syrup over the entire cake and let it seep, deep into the holes ...
I left the cake in the "tin" to cool, before helping myself to a generous slice of lemony goodness ...
The cake was wonderfully moist and the crusts deliciously zingy thanks to the lemon syrup ...
Another successful baking day ... but my new recipe adventures don't end there this week, oh no! As it's a Bank Holiday weekend here in the UK, I've got 3, yes THREE more new recipes I'm going to try tomorrow and Monday ... watch this space!
