      Revision

      The method for this delicious sounding recipe seems to need a bit of tweaking -- cream the butter and sugar together rather than cream butter and flour together, then mix in beaten eggs is how I would make it. Also, the rule of thumb that I follow is to either pour a cooled sugar/lemon mix over a hot cake, or a hot sugar/lemon mix over a cool cake. This seems to work better. Don't forget to puncture the cake with a tooth pick or a skewer to facilitate absorption.
