Madeira Cake

A madeira cake is always one of my favourites, so simple and easy to make yet perfect to have as a treat with a cup of tea or coffee.

Ingredients:
175 gms (5 oz) of butter
3/4 cup of sugar
3 eggs
1 and 1/2 cups of flour
1 tsp of baking powder
1 - 2 tsp of grated lemon rind (depending on how lemony you like it).

Method:
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. 

Beat eggs until thick and stir in lemon rind. 

Combine dry ingredients. 

Add egg and lemon mixture to the butter and sugar, slowly stirring and alternating with the dry ingredients. Do not over beat.

Spoon mixture into a lightly greased 20 cm ( 7 or 8 inch) round or ring cake tin and bake for 30 minutes at 180C (350F) or until cake springs back when touched.
