Chef tips
To achieve the classic, firm texture of Madeira cake, ensure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before beating; this guarantees a smooth, uniform batter and a perfectly risen cake. For a festive upgrade, add extra lemon zest to the batter and serve with fresh whipped cream and berries. Kids will love helping you dust the cake with powdered sugar once it has cooled completely.
