Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C and generously butter a 22 cm round tin.
  2. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a bowl.
  3. Cream the soft butter with the sugar until pale, then beat in the eggs one at a time.
  4. Add the lemon zest and vanilla, then alternate the dry ingredients and the lukewarm milk, mixing gently.
  5. Pour the batter into the tin and smooth the surface. Scatter with raisins if using.
  6. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes: the cake should be golden and a knife inserted should come out dry.
  7. Leave to cool for 10 minutes in the tin, then turn out onto a rack and dust with icing sugar.

Variations and tips

Orange flavour. Replace the lemon zest with the zest of an unwaxed orange.
