    Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl until pale. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating the mixture well between each one and adding a tablespoon of the flour with the last egg to prevent curdling. Sift the flour and gently fold in with enough milk to give a mixture that falls reluctantly from the spoon. Fold in the lemon zest.

  • 3

    Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and lightly level. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Place the lemon peel on top of the cake and bake for a further 30 minutes. Leave the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn it out on to a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
