Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 6 oz butter
  • 8 oz caster sugar
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 oz ground almonds (almond meal, or you can use plain flour)
  • 1 1/4 cups self-raising flour
  • 4 fl oz lemon juice
  • 5 oz store-bought or home-made lemon curd

For the glaze:

  • 6 1/2 oz icing sugar
  • 1 1/2 fl oz lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F). Grease and flour a 6 cup capacity bundt pan – mine was bigger than this, but it didn’t seem to matter.
  • Into the bowl of an electric mixer, pop in the butter, caster sugar (fine granulated sugar) and lemon zest and beat on medium–high speed until the mixture turns a pale creamy yellow. While still beating add the eggs in, one at a time.
  • Sift the self-raising flour and add the almond meal. Add half the flour/almond mix to the mixture along with half the lemon juice and fold in until just combined. Do the same with the remaining flour/almond mix and lemon juice.
  • Pour about half of the mixture into the bundt pan. Over top of that, spoon in an even ring of lemon curd around the middle of the cake mixture – don’t let the curd touch the sides of the pan though.  Spoon over the rest of the cake mixture.
  • Bake in the centre of the oven for about 30–35 minutes depending on your oven (mine took closer to 45 minutes), or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out nice and clean.
  • Cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before placing on a wire rack to cool completely. Then carefully lift the cake onto a serving dish or platter.
  • For the lemon glaze, combine the icing sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl and mix well. Drizzle over the cake in rivulets. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
