This is really easy to do and tastes divine!6oz Stork, plus extra for greasing (given that Stork is a brand, I suspect that any butter will do);
6oz self-raising flour;
1 tsp baking powder;
6oz caster sugar;
3 medium eggs;
2 tbsp milk;
Finely grated zest of 2 unwaxed lemons.
For the lemon syrup:
Juice of 2 lemons, strained;
4oz caster sugar.
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4 and grease and base-line a 2lb loaf tin.
Sift the flour and baking powder into a large mixing bowl, add the remaining ingredients and beat with a wooden spoon until smooth. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Turn out onto a wire rack.
For the lemon syrup, gently heat the lemon juice and sugar in a saucepan until the sugar is dissolved. While the cake is still warm, drizzle the syrup over. Slice and serve warm.

Looks delicious. I might have to make one this weekend :0)
Like the new look blog.
I'd better try this .... I mean, it has lemons and all - I have a sad addiction to lemons!
I'll work out my oz, cups and grams and see how I go :-)
Yuuum... I have added a link to this post, to the "How to Do Clever Stuff" section of my blog sidebar. Hope that's ok - let me know if not!
It really sounds great. I will try this soon.
BTW hope you are soon feeling better.
looks delish! I got that the Stork is butter (unsalted?) but do you know the American translation for caster sugar? Assuming granulated but wanted to make sure :) THANKS!!!!
