Lemon Sponge Cake




Ingredients

150g all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 eggs
150g caster sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
6 tablespoons (90ml) hot milk

Method
Preheat the oven to 180 C

Mix together flour, salt and baking powder.

In a large bowl, beat eggs until fluffy and lemon coloured.

Gradually beat in sugar. Stir in lemon juice and flavouring. Add sifted flour mixture gradually while beating; beat only enough to blend. Add hot milk quickly 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until blended. Pour into greased cake tin at once.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to touch. Invert, and cool in tin. Then loosen sides, and turn out on cake rack to cool completely. Decorate with chosen icing.
