Directions:
- Heat oven to 180°C.
- Butter and line the base of a 20cm round cake tin.
- Beat the butter and caster sugar in a large bowl using electric hand whisk until pale and creamy.
- Add the lemon zest (reserving half a tsp for the icing) and mix well.
- Gradually whisk the eggs into the butter mix-don't worry if it curdles a bit.
- Sift together the flour and baking powder and fold into the egg and butter mix using a large metal spoon or spatula.
- Add the ground almonds and 3/4 of the lemon juice; fold until thoroughly combined.
- Spoon into the cake tin and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
- Put cake tin on wire rack to cool for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix together the remaining lemon juice and zest and enough icing sugar to make a runny icing and then drizzle over top of cake.
- Cool in tin for a further 30 minutes and then remove and cool completely.
