Nigella’s Mother-in-Law’s Madeira Cake


  • 240 grams softened unsalted butter
  • 200 grams caster sugar, plus 2 tablespoons for sprinkling
  • Grated zest and juice of one lemon
  • 3 large eggs
  • 300 grams all purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

– Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, and then mix in the lemon zest.

– Add the eggs to the butter/sugar mixture, one at a time, with a tablespoon of flour for each.

– Gently mix in the rest of the flour, to which you have whisked in the baking powder.  Add the lemon juice and mix until just combined.

– Scrape the batter into a buttered and parchment-lined loaf pan and sprinkle the 2 tablespoons sugar on top.  Bake in a pre-heated 170C oven for 55 minutes – 1 hour or until a skewer comes out clean.

– Remove from the oven to a wire rack and cool in the pan for 10 minutes.  Remove from the pan and cool completely on the wire rack.

Every one of us casts a shadow.

There hangs about us, a sort of a strange, indefinable something, which we call personal influence--that has its effect on every other life on which it falls. It goes with us wherever we go. It is not something we can have when we want to have it--and then lay aside when we will, as we lay aside a garment. It is something that always pours out from our lives . . . as light from a lamp, as heat from flame, as perfume from a flower.

The ministry of personal influence is something very wonderful. Without being conscious of it, we are always impressing others by this strange power that exudes from us. Others watch us--and their thinking and actions are modified by our influence."

"Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity." Ephesians 5:15-16
