75 g (2 3/4 oz) self raising white flour
50 g (1 3/4 oz) polyunsaturated margarine
50 g (1 3/4 oz) caster sugar
1 egg, beaten
finely grated zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
For the topping
1 tablespoon lemon curd
1 tablespoon boiling water
method
1. Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 5/190°C/fan oven 170°C. Line a 9 hole bun tin with paper cases.
2. Sift the flour into a bowl. In a separate mixing bowl beat the margarine and caster sugar together until you have a pale and fluffy mixture. Add the beaten egg, lemon zest and lemon juice with 1 tablespoon of the flour and mix well.
3. Add the remaining flour to the lemon mixture and fold it in thoroughly. Divide the mixture between the paper cases and bake for 15 minutes, until the sponges are springy to the touch.
4. While the cakes are still warm, mix the lemon curd with the boiling water and brush this over the surface of the cakes. Allow them to cool before serving.
