Beat together the butter and caster sugar until it looks pale and creamy, and add the eggs, slowly beating them into the mixture. Sift in the flour, then add the lemon zest and mix until well combined. Spoon the mixture into the loaf tin and level the top with a spoon.

For this step you'll need:
- 225g Butter (unsalted)
- 85g Unrefined golden caster sugar
- 225g Self-raising white flour
- 1 Lemon zest finely grated

Bake for 45–50 minutes. Stick a skewer or knife into the centre of the cake, and if it comes out clean it’s done. Leave the cake in the tin to cool.

- 85g Unrefined golden caster sugar
