Preparation
Step 1
Heat oven to fan 160c. Beat together the butter and caster sugar until pale and creamy. Then add the eggs, one at a time, slowly mixing through.
Step 2
Sift in the flour and then add the zest of the lemons/limes and mix until well combined.
Step 3
Line 2 loaf tins (8 x 21cm) with greaseproof paper, then spoon in the mixture and level the top with a spoon. Bake for 45-50 minutes until a thin skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean.
Step 4
While the cakes are cooling, mix together the lemon/lime juice and the caster sugar to make the drizzle. Prick the warm cake all over with a skewer or fork, and then pour over the drizzle. The juice will sink in and the sugar will form a lovely crisp topping.
Step 5
Leave in the tin until completely cool.
