Lemon madeira cake
A light and tasty sponge cake.
What you need
- 175 g butter, softened
- 175 g caster sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 250 g self-raising flour
- rind and juice 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 in the sifted flour. Fold in the lemon juice and rind.
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.
