Steps:
- Sift the flour, baking powder and salt and set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add one egg at a time, clearing after each addition. Then add a heaping tablespoonful of flour after adding 2 eggs (this will help the batter not to curdle). Repeat after another 2 eggs.
- After all the eggs have been incorporated, add the grated lemon rind, and then the remaining flour mixture.
- Fold in the flour gently. It's quite a dry cake batter, so don't panic if you think it's turning into a dough.
- Keep folding until the flour is evenly mixed in, and the batter is smooth. Remember, it is much heavier than a standard sponge or cake batter
- Spread the cake batter into a prepared 8" springform pan. Sprinkle the top with the teaspoon of sugar.
- Bake for about an hour and 15 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out dry when placed into the center of the cake. Allow to cool in the tin for about 15 minutes, then remove and place on cooling rack to cool completely before serving.
- Cut into wedges or slices.
- Serve with your choice of beverage.

MADEIRA CAKE
This classic British Madeira cake is often served with Madeira wine, which is how it got its name. Similar to a pound cake, it is commonly flavored with lemon and can also be served with tea or other sweet liqueurs. -Peggy Woodward, Shullsburg, Wisconsin
