A few years back, in a little cafe/restaurant in Spain, I bought a cup of coffee and an amazing piece of crusty-topped cake flavoured with honey and lemon. I'm going to try to recreate that cake today.

For all I know, the cake I ate and enjoyed might be the unique recipe of the single place I happened to stumble into, but if anyone knows a more authentic recipe for this, please let me know. It was in Andalusia - either Seville or Granada, but I cannot recall which (I remember a lot about both of those places, but this particular memory is overwhelmed by the cake alone)

Ingredients:
For the cake:
250g Self raising flour
100g Caster sugar
Pinch of salt
125g butter or vegetable baking fat
3 large eggs
150g honey
Grated or scraped zest of one lemon
(approx) 100ml Mild olive oil
Additional flour for dusting

For the drizzle:
100g honey
Lemon juice (I used about 50ml, but this cake could easily stand more)
