Foodie Post: Lemon and Lime Cake

I needed to make ready for a friend popping round for a cuppa yesterday. I've often made a Lemon Sponge Cake, but I had limes in the house too, so decided to add one in too and see how it came out! It worked really well, was moist and delicious and lasted about 5 minutes!!

********************

100g/4oz butter
100g/4oz caster sugar
2 large eggs
100g/4oz self-raising flour
1 lemon
1 lime




Preheat oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas 5. 
Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl.


Add the eggs and mix well.


Stir in the grated lemon and lime zest and the juice


Mix the flour in lightly until it's just combined


Pour the mix into a greased cake tin, and bake for around 25 minutes.
Leave to cool in the tin, then turn out and enjoy!!!
