Method

* Pre-heat the oven to 180°C / Fan 160°C / Gas Mark 4 *

  1. Grease a 30cm x 23cm traybake tin and line it with nonstick baking paper. In a large mixing bowl, put all of the ingredients inside and mix well with an electric whisk.

  2. Scrap the mixture into the lined tin you prepared earlier and spread until level with the back of a spoon or a spatula. Place inside the preheated oven for around 30-40 minutes (until a knife comes out clean).

  3. While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze in a separate bowl. Mix the lemon juice and sugar together well until the glaze has a runny consistency.

  4. As soon as the tray bake comes out of the oven, get a straw and piece holes throughout the top of the bake and pour the glaze over the top and sprinkle with the zest of the lemons previously squeezed. Put the cake to one side until the glaze has set. 

  5. Once cold, remove the bake from the tin and cut it into 16 pieces.
