Cake

1. You need to pre heat your oven to 180 degrees celcius or gas mark 4.

2. Grease and line your cake tin.

3. Cream your butter, sugar and lemon zest (cream means to stir until fluffy) (to zest your lemon grate the skin of the lemon)

4. Add your eggs one at a time ( if your mixture starts going lumpy and curdling add 1tsp flour)

5. Sift the flour and stir it into the mixture

Drizzle

1. Put your four lemons in the microwave for about 5-10 seconds (this helps the lemon to bring out all it juices)
2. Cut your lemons in half and squeeze the juice into a mixing bowl.
3. Add your granulated sugar to your mixing bowl and stir it into the lemon juice.
4. As soon as your cake is out the oven pierce about 20 holes in the top of your cake.
