Steps

40mins

1

Pre-Heat main oven to 180degrees
2

Add butter and sugar to a bowl and mix well.
3

Grate and finely dice the rinds from the lemons. Add these to the bowl and mix well.
4

Once you have a smooth mixture add the eggs and gradually fold in the self raising flour.
5

Add the mixture to a greaseproof or greaseproof papered dish, spread evenly, and place in the oven for 35-40 minutes.
6

While the mixture cooks, juice the remaining lemons into a small pan. Bits of pulp are fine but remove any seeds.
7

Place the pan of lemon juice on a hob at high heat. Add two tablespoons of sugar. Once the juice is boiling, bring it to a gentle simmer on a low heat.
8

Remove the sponge from the oven and cover evenly with the juice mixture. Cover with foil and leave for 30 minutes allowing the moisture to soak into the sponge.
