175g Sugar, caster or granulated

Accompaniment

Method

1
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C

2. In a mixing bowl put the margarine, sieved flour, sugar, baking powder, grated rind of lemon and eggs.

3. Mix until smooth and creamy, probably a couple of minutes, until well combined.

4. Pour into a lined loaf tin and bake for 45 to 55 minutes (for a gas/electric oven, quicker for fan assisted oven). Push a skewer into the centre of the cake, if it comes out clean then it's ready.

5. Heat the lemon juice and sugar until sugar has dissolved.

6. As soon as the cake is cooked pierce it all over with the skewer, to a depth of about half way. Pour the hot lemon syrup over the cake whilst still in the tin. Leave to cool in the tin.
