Tips:

- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before you start mixing. This helps in achieving a smoother batter.

- When zesting the lemon, avoid removing the white pith under the zest. The pith can add a bitter taste to your cakes.

- For an even more intense lemon flavor, consider adding a few drops of lemon extract to the batter.

- Sift the self-raising flour to incorporate air and eliminate any lumps, leading to lighter and fluffier cakes.

- Use an ice cream scoop to portion the batter evenly into muffin tins, ensuring each cake is uniform in size and bakes evenly.

- To check if the cakes are done, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs, not wet batter.

These Lemon Syrup Cakes are sure to impress with their vibrant citrus aroma and rich, buttery texture. They're perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a casual afternoon tea or a festive gathering. Enjoy your baking process, and relish these delightful cakes with friends and family. Happy baking!
