150 g icing sugar |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
Directions:
1. Heat the oven to 190c/gas 5.grease a 8in cake tin & line the base with greaseproff paper.
2. Beat the sugar, butter & zest together until pale& fluffy.Gradually beat in the egg, a little at a time, beating the mixture well after each addition.Sift in the flour & baking powder, then gently fold into the butter mixture, along with the lemon juice.Pour the mixture into the cake tin & smooth the top.
