Ingredients

  • 170g butter
  • 170g sugar
  • 170g self-raising flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 heaped tablespoons of lemon curd

 

Method

  1. Start by preheating your oven to fan 180
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar
  3. Once the butter and sugar has been creamed, add the eggs to the large mixing bowl and whisk in
  4. Add your flour and lemon curd to the large mixing bowl and mix everything together
  5. In a greased 1lb loaf tin, spoon your mixture into the tin and cook in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes
  6. Once fully cooled, remove the cake from the tin

Top Tip: Sometimes I put icing on the cake too! I usually make up the icing as per the instructions on the packet and add a few drops of lemon flavouring.
