For the lemon drizzle:

Instructions

To get started, preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4 and grease and line a 30 x 23cm (12 x 9in) Swiss roll tin. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then fold in the self-raising flour and the zest of two lemons until combined. Finally, stir in the milk and mix until all the ingredients are combined.

Once the cake batter is complete, spoon it into the prepared tin and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave the cake in the tin to cool.

While the cake is cooling, make the lemon drizzle. In a small bowl, mix together the juice of two lemons and the caster sugar. Once the cake has cooled, pour the drizzle over the top and spread it out evenly. Leave the cake to cool completely in the tin before slicing and serving.
