Cream butter and sugar till pale and fluffy then add eggs slowly, fold in the flour and slacken with milk
Add grated lemon rind.
Pour in tin and bake on 150-170C depending on oven, for 40 mins depending on tin size!! and firm to touch
Mix the juice of 3 lemons with the caster sugar & icing sugar and heat till warm on stove or microwave!
When cake comes out of oven prick with skewer and drizzle lemon icing on top - leave till cool.
Totally optional - It's nice to finish off by beating mascarpone with juice of half remaining lemon and a little more icing sugar.
Go on have a slice :-) Cx
