Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a loaf tin with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
-
Sift in the self-raising flour and baking powder. Add the lemon zest and mix until just combined.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared tin and smooth the top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

While the cake is still warm, make the lemon drizzle by mixing the lemon juice and granulated sugar. Prick the top of the cake with a skewer and pour the drizzle over.

Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve and enjoy!
