Lemon Tea Cake
- 1 cup self-raising flour
- 12 cup caster sugar
- 60 g butter, chopped
- 1 egg, beaten lightly
- 14 cup lemon juice, for filling
- 12 cup caster sugar, for filling
- 1 egg, beaten lightly, for filling
- 60 g butter, chopped, for filling
- Preheat the oven to 180 C (160 C fan-forced).
- Grease a deep, 18cm cake pan, and line it with baking paper.
- Sift flour into a medium sized mixing bowl.
- Add sugar and rub in the butter until the mix resembles breadcrumbs.
- Stir in the egg till you have a soft dough.
- Press 2/3 of this mix into your cake tin - we use the rest later.
- Lemon filling: Combine all ingredients in a small pan, stiring over a low heat until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Strain the lemon filling onto the cake base in the pan, spreading so that it remains about 1cm from the edge.
- Crumble the remaining dough on top, over the lemon filling.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until browned.
- Cool in pan.
- Serve sprinkled with icing sugar, or with a scoop of ice-cream.
