• 1tsp salt
• zest of one lemon
• juice of half a lemon
• 1tsp of vanilla extract
• 2 tbl of poppy seeds

method

Dead easy, combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl (sifting the flour can help) beat the eggs and place in a mixing jug with the milk, oil and butter.

Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the contents of the jug, stir well until throughly mixed, now add the lemon zest, juice, golden syrup, and vanilla extract, and mix further. Lastly add the poppy seeds but do not over mix after this point as they're quite delicate. Split the mxture evenly between 12 cake cases (or 6 large ones) bake for 20-25 mins at gas 4 - 175c
