A friend of ours has given us a recipe we thought sounded so good we had to share it!

• Warm bowl and heat oven at gas mark 4 (or 180 degree C/160 degree C for fan oven)
• Mix 4oz (100g) of soft marg & 6oz (150g) of caster sugar until smooth (mix fast to add air)
• Sieve 6oz (150g) of self-raising flour (from a height as this adds air for lightness)
• Add 2 large eggs, 4 tablespoons of milk, pinch of salt and grated rind of 1 lemon
• Mix for at least three minutes – whip to add air
• Spoon into a well-greased loaf tin
• Bake for 45-60 minutes – test with clean knife – if it comes out clean it’s done
• Take out of oven and cool
• Mix 3 tablespoons of icing sugar with the lemon juice
• Prick cake, pour over juice and serve….yummm!
