Make Cake:
Put all cake ingredients in a bowl and beat until smooth, about 3 minutes. Turn into cake tin and smooth the top so it is level. Bake 45 minutes at 350°F or 180°C. Remove from oven and stand the cake, still in the tin, on a tray to cool.
Make Lemon Syrup and Assembly:
Prick the warm cake all over with a fork. Gently pour the syrup over it. Leave until the cake is cold. Turn out and sprinkle with icing sugar.
