- Melt the fat and sugar together in a pan or in a bowl in the microwave.
- Add the Mix, eggs and lemon zest. Beat well until smooth and pour into prepared tin.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 30-40minutes until golden and firm.
- Meanwhile, make the drizzle by combining the lemon juice and sugar together.
- Remove from the oven, prick the cake with a skewer or fork and pour the drizzle over the top.
- For an extra special touch, make a glaze icing with icing sugar and water and drizzle over the cooled cake, then top with roughly chopped pistachios.
