Next cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (approximately 5 minutes)

Step 3

Add eggs and mix again until combined.

Step 5

Then add your dry ingredients (soft in) and fold in gently with a spatula. Take care not to overmix.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 170C and line your loaf tin. Pour the batter into the pan. If you’d like to get the signature central crack on top of your loaf, pipe some softened butter in a straight line across the centre (entirely optional)

Step 7

Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Step 8

For the syrup, in a saucepan or microwave mix lemon juice and icing sugar until the sugar is dissolved.

Step 9

Poke holes into the cake with a toothpick and pour the syrup over your hot cake. Let the cake cool completely.

Step 10

Meanwhile, in a separate bowl mix together icing sugar, milk and lemon juice. Pour over the cooled cake and top with lemon slices if you like.

Step 11

Let the cake set completely for in the fridge for 3 hours/overnight if you’re patient! Enjoy :)
