"I make this cake a lot although ingredients slightly different but makes a really moist cake and lovely for a desert with a blob of cream. My ingredients are as follows... 8 oz butter, 12 oz castor sugar,9 oz s.r.flour, 4 eggs, 9 tablespoons milk grated rind of lemon. 2 lb loaf tin. Method: cream butter,sugar and lemon rind untill light and creamy. Add eggs one at a time and some flour alternatively and finally milk and remainder of flour. I makes for a sloppy mixture so dont worry. Bake in well lined loaf tin centre of oven at 180 deg c for 55 mins approx. When cooked it should be firm to touch. Meanwhile add 2 tablespoons of icing sugar to juice of lemon and brig to boil to melt sugar. Prick cake all over and pour of the lemon mixture. Be careful removing from tin. Enjoy... "
