Mary Berry's Madeira Cake
Description
Mary Berry's Madeira Cake recipe relies on creaming softened butter and sugar to create a fluffy base for the batter. Eggs are incorporated one at a time, ensuring a smooth texture. The dry ingredients include self-raising flour and ground almonds, adding both lightness and nutty flavor, combined with fresh lemon zest to introduce a bright aroma and subtle citrus taste.
The cake batter is poured into a greased and floured round tin and baked at 180°C (350°F) until browned on top and a skewer inserted comes out clean. The result is a firm yet tender cake with a moist crumb and a golden crust that holds its shape well.
Once baked, the cake cools slightly in the tin before being transferred to a rack to cool completely. This cake can be served plain or paired with tea and is suitable for slicing and layering with fillings or frostings if desired.
