Lemon Cake

Pre-heat the oven.

Cut the butter into small cubes and put them into a mixing bowl.
Add the sugar and beat together until light and fluffy.
Finely grate the lemon rind into the bowl.
Break the eggs into the bowl one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next.
Sieve the flour into the bowl and stir it into the mixture.
Tip the mixture into the prepared baking tray, spreading it into the corners.
Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Leave the traybake in its tin.

Lemon Drizzle

Squeeze the grated lemons to make 75ml of juice. Add more lemon if necessary.
Put the juice and granulated sugar into a saucepan over a medium heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved and a syrup has formed.
Prick the surface of the cake with a skewer or bbq stick.
Pour the syrup slowly all over the top of the warm cake.
When completely cold, cut into small squares.
