       zest from 1 lemon

       Method:

• Preheat oven to 165 deg C. Grease a 7 inch bundt pan or line a 7 inch round cake pan. Dust with flour; tap out excess. (Better to change to a smaller cake pan, as my 8 inch cake pan is a little too big for this cake)
• Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon powder and salt together into a bowl. Add lemon zest and mix well. Set aside.
• Whisk eggs and sugar on high speed until pale and thick.
• In a cup, combine honey, milk, oil and zest together, Mix well and slowly add into egg mixture at low speed until combined.
• Add in flour mixture in few batches, mix until smooth, Pour batter into pan.
• Bake until dark brown for about 40-45 minutes or a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean..
• Let cool in pan for about 10 minutes. Then remove cake and cool on wire rack.
