It is time for our Flower Festival again, next week. I thought I'd get a small bit of baking in. So the following recipe is for 2 trays - one for eating, the other for freezing for next week. Obviously you could halve the portions.....
1lb,450g self-raising flour
half-teaspoon baking powder
3 lemons
12oz, 350g butter
12oz, 350g caster sugar
4 eggs.
Beat butter, add sugar, and beat together until creamy. Gradually add the beaten egg, beating continuously. Fold in the flour and baking powder. Add the zest of the 3 lemons, and the juice of 2.
Put mixture in greased tins. Bake in a moderate oven for about 30-40 minutes. When you take the tins out of the oven, sprinkle some granulated sugar on top; then squeeze juice from remaining lemon over this. When cool, remove from tin, and cut into squares.
Sounds delicious! I love lemon cake. I do hope that the sun shines for your flower festival, as I know that you have had quite a lot of rain recently.
