crunchy lemon top

today i am going – despite the rain – to go to tescos for shopping and then i am going to bake a cake. havent had this cake in a while but it's very nummy – here's the recipe in case you want to make it too.

• 4oz butter (proper butter, no margerine rubbish, microwave it slightly to soften it up)
• 6oz caster sugar
• 6oz self-raising flower (i recommend at least part wholemeal it has a much nicer texture)
• 1 tspn baking powder (more if you're using wholemeal)
• 2 eggs
• some milk – 4 tbsp i think! – will let you know what i use… yep used 4
• grated rind of 1 lemon
  mix all this together and bake in a smallish (7") loaf tin @ 180C for 35–40 mins
  while its cooking make the topping – blend the juice of 1 lemon with 4oz caster sugar til it makes a paste. spread this over the cake while hot. mmm lovely. (smallprint: if this doesnt work for you its not my fault)
