Preparation

Preheat the fan oven 190oC or gas mark to 5, and butter a small to medium square or rectangular baking tray.

  1. In a large mixing bowl, mix the sugar with the butter, until it is creamy.
  2. Add the eggs one at a time and add the milk to the mix.
  3. Pour the flour and baking powder into a sieve with the rest of the mix. Extract the lemon zest from both lemons and add it to the mix.
  4. Pour the mixture into the baking tray and bake for 25-30mins or until the cake is golden; check if a skewer/toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Put the granulated sugar in a small bowl and add the juice of 2 lemons and stir until the mixture is a thick white cream.
  6. Pour the lemon-sugar frosting on top of the cake with a spoon. Leave the cake to get all the sugar and lemon juices and cool down.
