For the sponge

  • 400 g Margarine (or softened butter)
  • 500 g Caster Sugar
  • 3 Lemon zest
  • 6 lrg Eggs
  • 520 g Plain Flour

Instructions
 

  • Grease and line your baking tin/s with baking paper, leaving enough so that it overhangs the baking tray. Heat the oven at 160°c fan/180c/350f/gas 4.
  • Cream the butter, sugar and lemon zest in with your electric mixer for 3 minutes, until pale and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time whilst mixing.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the flour, salt (if using) and baking powder. Pour half of this into your egg mixture and mix until combined. Pour in the Greek yoghurt and 50g lemon curd, mix again, and then add the remaining flour.
  • Spoon the batter into your tins and smooth out evenly. Top with dollops of the remaining lemon curd. Give them a swirl through with a knife or spoon
  • Bake for 50 minutes or until the sponge is cooked. Leave to cook completely.
  • For the icing, mix the icing sugar with enough lemon juice to make a thick glaze. Drizzle over the cooled cake, then slice and serve.

Notes

I used a large roasting tin for a taller sponge, but you can easily spread them out over two small baking trays.
If you want it use extra lemon curd in your sponge or topping please allow extra baking time.
