Ingredients:

1 cup butter
220g
2/3 cup sugar
130g
3 eggs
150g
1/3 cup lemon juice
63g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1/2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
60g

Instructions:

2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the 1 cup (220g) of butter and 2/3 cup (130g) of sugar together until light and fluffy. This will take about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
3. Add Eggs: Add the 3 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
4. Add Lemon Juice: Pour in the 1/3 cup (63g) of lemon juice and mix until well combined.
5. Combine Flours: In a separate bowl, sift together the 1 cup (150g) of self-raising flour and the 1/2 cup (60g) of all-purpose white wheat flour.
6. Mix Dry Ingredients with Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the cake tender.
7. Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
8. Bake: Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a skewer or toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
2. Simmer: Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
2. Pour Syrup: Slowly drizzle the warm lemon syrup over the top of the cake, allowing it to soak in.
3. Serve: Allow the cake to sit for about 30 minutes so the syrup can fully absorb. Slice and serve.

Tips:

- Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This ensures better mixing and a more even texture.

- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice can sometimes taste less vibrant.

- Don't overmix the batter. Mix just until the ingredients are combined to keep the cake light and fluffy.

- When adding the syrup, make sure the cake is still warm so it can absorb the liquid properly.

- Let the cake cool completely before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
