3 medium free range eggs
175g of self raising flour

Beat in the eggs, one at a time and gently fold in the flour.
Stir in the lemon zest and juice.
Spoon the mixture into your loaf tin and bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until golden brown.
For the lemon drizzle topping, warm the caster sugar with the lemon juice and zest until the sugar has completely dissolved.
When the cake is still warm, prick the cake all over with a toothpick and pour the syrup over the cake whilst it is still in the tin, let it to soak in before you serve it.
