Step 1

First, grease and line 900g/2lb loaf tin. Pre-heat the oven to 180C/160Cfan/gas 4.

Step 2

Next, sift the flour and baking powder together into a large bowl before adding the soft margarine or butter, Tate & Lyle Golden Caster Sugar, Lyle’s Golden Syrup, eggs, milk and lemon zest, then beat together until you get a well-mixed, smooth consistency.

Step 3

Spoon the mixture into the tin and level the surface. Then place it in the oven and cook for 40-45 minutes, or until well risen and firm to the touch. Remove the cake from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool down.

Step 4

Now, gently warm the Lyle’s Golden Syrup, lemon juice and lemon strips in a pan.

Step 5

Make small holes in the top of the loaf with a skewer and pour in the drizzle, leaving the lemon rind to settle on top of the loaf.

Step 6

This cake will keep for approximately 3 days (if it lasts that long!) when stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

Step 7

You can substitute caster sugar for granulated if you prefer but bear in mind the sugar may not dissolve as reliably in the mixture.

Step 8

When it’s time to cook the mixture, we recommend placing it on the middle shelf of your oven.

Step 9

However tempting it is to keep checking on your cake’s progress while it bakes, try to resist the urge to open the oven door as it may cause the cake to sink.
