Preheat the oven to 180°C

Grease and line a square or loaf tin to prevent the cake from sticking

Cream together the sugar, lemon zest and butter until light and fluffy

Whisk in the eggs a little at a time. If the mixture starts to curdle, add a little flour

Fold in the flour and spoon mixture into the prepared tin

Bake the cake for 35-40 minutes.

While the cake is cooking, prepare the syrup by mixing the lemon juice and granulated sugar in a small bowl

When the cake is cooked (well risen and golden), remove from the oven and prick with a cocktail stick

While still warm, drizzle the syrup slowly all over the cake
