Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4 and line two 18cm/7in cake tins with baking parchment.
- Cream the butter and the sugar together until pale. Use an electric hand mixer if you have one. Beat in the eggs.
- Sift over the flour and fold in using a large metal spoon.
- The mixture should be of a dropping consistency; if it is not, add a little milk.
- Divide the mixture between the cake tins and gently spread out with a spatula. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Allow to stand for 5 minutes before turning on to a wire rack to cool.
- Sandwich the cakes together with jam, lemon curd or whipped cream and berries or just enjoy on its own.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4, butter and line the base of two 20cm spring-form cake tins with baking parchment.
- Using an electric whisk beat the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Crack the eggs in one at a time and whisk well, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Add the lemon zest, vanilla, flour, milk and a pinch of salt. Whisk until just combined then divide the mixture between the two tins.
- Bake in the centre of the oven for 25-30 mins until a skewer inserted into the middle of each cake comes out clean. After 10 mins remove the cakes from their tins and leave to cool completely on a wire rack. Fill how you like. My personal favourite is a good dollop of lemon curd and some fresh cream, then dust the top with icing sugar. Will keep for 3 days.
