Preheat the oven to 180 c . Butter a tin and line with greaseproof paper.

Cream together butter,sugar,eggs and lemon zest. Beat well. Add flour and salt then gently fold together.

Pour into loaf tin, bake for 45 mins or until golden.

For the syrup: put the lemon juice and icing sugar into a small saucepan and heat gently so sugar dissolves.

When the loaf is cooked, puncture with a skewer about 20 times and pour syrup, over loaf. Leave to soak then cut into slices and eat!
