Okay..... to make it as a round cake do 6,6,6 and 3.
6 flour, sugar, butter, 3 eggs. Use 2 tsp baking powder and 4 tbls milk.
Divide the mix between the two sandwich tins. Then I would make a butter icing for the middle (just butter and icing sugar.... maybe add some lemon juice), then do the topping as before.
Hope that helps.
Recipe... okay
12oz flour
9 oz sugar
9 oz butter/marg
4 eggs
3 tsp baking powder
6 tbsp milk
zest of 2 lemons
Pop it all in a bowl and whisk. Pop into large roasting tin or large square baking tin (which you should line with baking paper, but I don't always).
Cook on 180 or Gas 4/5 (I think) for 30-40 mins. To test if it's cooked pop a knife into it. If it comes out clean it's cooked. You can also press the top and see if it springs back up.
Prick it with holes. Warm the juice of the 2 lemons in the microwave for about 20secs. Spoon 3-4 tablespoons of lemon juice over the cake. Mix the rest with icing sugar (as thick as you like). Voila!
