Ingredients

  • 500g butter, clarified
  • 500g potato flour
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 yolks
  • 350g castor sugar
  • zest of 1 lemon

Method

To clarify the butter, melt and simmer it until the solids fall to the bottom of the saucepan, then ladle the liquid butter through a damp muslin cloth into a bowl. Cool and refrigerate until butter is congealed.

Preheat oven to 180C.

Grease a 22cm or 24cm springform tin and line the base with paper.

Sieve the potato flour. Lightly whisk eggs and yolks. Beat butter to a thick cream in an electric mixer. Beat in the sugar and then the eggs and flour alternately. Add the lemon zest.

Spoon into the tin and bake for about 1 hour until a skewer inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean.
