Cook Time 55 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 5 minutes
Servings 12 slices

Ingredients

  • 175 g of butter 175g of caster sugar
  • 250 g of plain flour
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 4 eggs
  • Finely grated zest of one lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 160 degrees C (gas mark 3)
  2. Cream the butter and eggs (we use our Kmix for this). I have shown the boys before that when creaming butter and eggs the mixture changes colour.
  3. Crack your eggs in to a jug and whisk.
  4. Measure your flour, baking powder and grate your lemon zest.
  5. Add some of the beaten egg to the creamed butter and flour with a small amount of the flour mixture and continue to wix until all combined.
  6. Spoon into a pre greased and lined loaf tin (we use a silicon one which means that we do not need to line it).
  7. Cook for 55 - 60 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven and leave to cool in tin for around 5 minutes before turning out.
