Madeira Cake
- 175g softened butter (3/4 cup)
- 175g caster sugar (1 cup minus 2 TBS)
- the finely grated zest of one lemon
- 3 large free range eggs, beaten
- 115g plain flour (1 cup, less 2 1/2 TBS)
- 115g self raising flour (1 cup, less 2 1/2 TBS)
- 1 – 2 TBS whole milk
- thin slivers of candied lemon peel to decorate the top
- Preheat the oven to 180*C/350*F/ gas mark 4. Butter and line a medium sized loaf tin with baking paper.
- Sift the flours together. Set aside.
- Rub the lemon peel into the sugar until very fragrant. Cream together with the softened butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs a bit at a time. If the mixture starts to curdle at all, add a spoonful of the flour as needed. Fold the remaining flour into the creamed mixture. Stir in milk as needed to give you a batter with a soft dropping consistency.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, levelling the surface. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 20 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven and lay the lemon peel on top, then return to the oven and bake for a further 40 minutes or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
- Let cool in the tin for 10 minutes before lifting out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into slices to serve. You can dust with icing sugar if you wish. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
