This zesty cake is a real crowd-pleaser
Method
- 1
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Grease the Stellar 2lb loaf tin.
- 2
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.

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.
