Madeira cake
A traditional British recipe
What you need
- 175 g butter, softened
- 175 g caster sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 250 g self-raising flour, sifted
- 45 ml whole milk
- rind of 1 lemon
Method
Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease an 18 cm/7in round cake tin. Line the base with greaseproof paper and grease the paper.
Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl until pale and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating the mixture well in between each egg, and adding a tablespoon of the flour with the last egg to prevent the mixture curdling.
Gently fold the flour into the mixture. Add enough milk to make a consistency that falls slowly from the spoon. Fold in the lemon zest.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the top.
Bake for 60 min or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Leave the cake to cool a little in the tin before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
