Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Base line a loose-based 20cm-deep round cake tin with nonstick baking paper and grease with a little of the sunflower spread.
  2. Put 200g of the sugar, the sunflower spread, eggs, flour, baking powder and lemon zest in a food processor and blend until just smooth and combined. Spoon the cake batter into the prepared tin and level the surface. Bake for 40 mins or until well risen, firm and pale golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool in the tin for 5 mins.
  3. Mix the lemon juice with the remaining sugar. Skewer the cake all over within the tin to make holes for the drizzle seep through. Gradually spoon the lemon sugar over the sponge, letting it sink into the holes. Allow to cool completely in the tin before serving, with raspberries if you like.
