Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 F/180 C. Grease and line a 9x5x3 inch loaf tin.
-
Sift flour and baking powder into a mixing bowl, then add all remaining cake ingredients.
-
Mix at high speed until a thick, smooth batter forms.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
-
Place the hot cake, still in its tin, on a cooling rack.
-
For the syrup, mix sugar and lemon juice until the sugar dissolves.
-
Prick the warm cake all over with a skewer, then slowly spoon the syrup over it, allowing each addition to soak in.
-
Cool the cake completely in the tin before removing, slicing, and serving or storing.
