Ingredients
- 12 tablespoons butter ( 1 1/2 sticks) left out of the fridge for a while to soften slightly
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup self-raising flour
- 1.75 ounces ground almonds
- 1 ounce poppy seeds
Topping
Option 1
- Juice of 1½ lemons
- 1/3 cup caster sugar
Option 2
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 3/4 cup icing/confectioners' sugar
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 180C. Line the bottom of a 9-inch round cake tin with baking paper, and lightly grease the bottom and sides.
- Cream together the butter and sugar in a food processor or with a hand-held whisk until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Whisk in the eggs one by one, then stir in the lemon zest and juice.
- Fold in the flour, almonds and poppy seeds, then pour the batter into the cake tin.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a skewer poked into the middle of the cake comes out almost clean.
For the topping
EITHER
- (Option 1) Heat the juice from the 1½ lemons with the caster sugar until the sugar has dissolved. When the cake has just come out of the oven, poke the cake all over with a skewer or fine knife, then pour the syrup all over the cake. Let cool, and serve.
OR
- (Option 2) Add the lemon juice to the icing sugar to make lemon icing. Pour/Spread the icing over the cake (don’t worry if it drips down the sides of the cake – it’s supposed to do that!). Let the icing set, then serve.
