  4. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.
  5. Add the sugar and whisk over the heat until the mixture is creamy.
  6. Remove from heat and whisk until mixture is cool and the beaters leave a trail when lifted above the mixture.
  7. Gently fold in the flour a little at a time finally adding the grated lemon rind.
  8. Divide the mixture between the two tins and bake in a fairly hot oven (GM 5, 375°F, 190°C) for about 25 minutes.
  9. Remove the tins and cool on a wire rack.
  10. Spoon the jam and water into a small saucepan, bring to the boil and bubble to a thick glaze.
  11. Brush one surface of the sponge with the glaze and sandwich the layers together.

  13. Lift the cake onto a flat serving plate.
