Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a 30x23cm tin with baking spread and paper.

  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the sponge springs back when touched.
  • Mix the granulated sugar and lemon juice together to form a runny glaze.
  • Cool the cake in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
  • Brush the glaze over the warm cake and leave it to set before slicing.
