  • Using a food mixer or blender add the eggs one at a time
  • Add the milk and lemon zest
  • Gently fold in the sifted flour
  • Bake on middle shelf of oven for approx 40 minutes
  • Insert a skewer into middle of the cake-if it comes out clean-it’s cooked
  • Allow to cool slightly
  • Mix the lemon juice with the icing sugar
  • Prick the top of cake all over with the skewer
