Take 4 eggs.

Lightly beat the eggs.

Add half the beaten eggs to the bowl, and beat in, and then add the rest.

Beat in the eggs.

Next, add 8 ounces self-raising flour.

Finally, add 1 teaspoon salt.

Stir in the flour and salt until combined.

Grease and line a loaf tin, and pour in the batter.

Bake the cake in the preheated oven at Gas Mark 3 for 1 hour until golden brown and firm.

Once baked, remove from tin and allow to completely cool on a wire rack.

  1. I have tried baking pound cake but I used lemon glaze maybe next time I will try orange glaze. Looks delicious and tasty.

  2. I was wondering if I was to make this cake using lemon zest would I use the whole of one lemon zest same as orange? or less cause its more bitter?
