Remove from the oven & turn out removing the greaseproof paper, turn it the right way up. Grate the rind of the lemon onto the cake & poke it beneat the surface with a knife, then squeeze the lemon juice onto the cake & sprinkle with granulated sugar. Theoretically serves 8 but generally serves 2 as it doesn't last long enough for guests to come around.

Ooh ! lemon drizzle cake! That reminds me of my mum making a similar cake when we were kids. We loved it! I am not really one for making cakes and sweet stuff but I might just give it a try. Thanks.
