1. Preheat Oven to 180C/gas mark 4. Butter and line loaf tin well, ensuring that the lining comes up a cm or so up the sides of the tin.
2. Cream together butter & sweetner, add eggs and lemon zest, beating in well.
3. Add Flour & Salt (if using), folding in gently but throughly.
4. Then spoon into prepared loaf tin and put into oven.
5. While the cake is cooking, get on with the syrup: put the lemon juice & sweetner into a saucepan and heat gently until sweetner is dissolved. Add the lemoncello to the syrup.
6. Bake the cake for 45 mins, or until golden, risen in the middle (though it will sink a little on cooling) and an inserted cake tester comes out clean.
7. As soon as the cake is out of the oven puncture the top of the loaf all over with a skewer. Pour over the syrup, ensuring the middle absorbs it as well as the sides, then leave it to soak up the rest.
8. Leave the cake to cool COMPLETELY. If you try to take it out of the tin whilst warm it is liable to crumble as it is wet with syrup.
9. Serve

  Nope sorry...not a clue although the calories and the fat together make it still a treat...but I really added it for those people who can't eat sugar (diabetics) ......glad you liked it though...it doesn't rise as well as a conventional cake....but then it won't cause you're not using sugar.
