Greek Lemon Cake

1/2 cup butter
3/4 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup warm milk
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tbs. grated lemon peel
Topping:
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 cup sugar

1.  Preheat your oven to 180°C.

2.  Cream butter and gradually add the sugar until light and fluffy. Beat the eggs until light and creamy and with a spoon fold them into the butter and sugar. Stir in the milk with a wooden spoon, then slowly add the flour, baking powder, salt and lemon peel.

3.  Pour the batter into a well-greased 9x12" pan and bake approx. 25 minutes.

4.  Mix the topping ingredients together in a bowl. Remove the cake from the oven and spoon the mixture evenly over the hot cake and return it to the oven to bake for another 5 minutes. The juice will penetrate into the cake and the sugar will crust over the top.
