Step 1

Preheat the oven to 160C and grease your loaf tin and line it with baking paper.

Step 2

Put all of the cake ingredients into a large bowl and beat until smooth.

Step 3

Spoon into the prepared tin and smooth out. Bake for 40 - 50 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.

Step 4

Whilst the cake is still warm in the tin, use a skewer or thin sharp knife to poke holes all over it.

Step 5

Mix the icing sugar with enough of the juice of the lemons to make a thin paste. Add the liquid gradually so it stays nice and smooth. (This is normally 1 and half lemons but will depend on how big and juicy they were!)

Step 6

Pour all over the cake and allow to sink in.
