Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 180C. Grease the tin with butter and line the base with baking paper.
2

Add butter and sugar into a large mixing bowl and beat for 2 minutes, or until well blended. Add 1 egg at the time and beat until all combine.
3

Then add half of the flour, baking powder and mix well, add the rest of the flour and beat for a few mins. Add some milk and mix well, check if the mixture still too thick you can add 1 or 2 more tbsp of milk.
4

Add 1 lemon juice and about 2 tbsp lemon zest
5

Turn the mixture into the prepared tin and level the top, use the back of your spoon even it out. Bake for 35–40 minutes, you can check when your cake is done by put bbq skewer right through the cake and when you lift it up and your bamboo skewers nice and clean means your cake is done.
6

Meanwhile, make the glaze. Mix the sugar with the lemon juice, lemon zest and stir to a runny consistency. Add some lemon and lime jam and mix well.
7

Once your cake cooked, leave the cake to cool for 5 minutes in the tin, then lift out, with the lining paper still attached, and place on wire rack set over a tray.
8

Pour the glaze all over the surface of the warm cake and leave to set. Remove the lining paper and cut into slices to serve. Decorate with some candied flowers if prefer
