  Add juice from one lemon to a cup of milk, stir and let rest for at least 10 minutes

  In a large bowl, mix butter with sugar and lemon zest. Then add juice from another lemon and eggs and yolks, one at a time, whisking at high speed for about 10 secs each.

Add again 1/3 of the dry ingredients and mix, add the remaining half of milk and mix, and finally add the remaining 1/3 of flour mixture and mix with folding motions.

  Optional: you can create a delicious crispy coat for the cake with 2/3 cups of caster, granulated sugar and the juice from half a lemon. You mix sugar with juice together and spread all over the cake, it tastes delicious and adds a little crunch when it hardens!
