Method
Add the lemon zest to the butter and sugar mixture in the basic sponge method, then continue to make the sponge until the flour has been added and mixed. Fold in the lemon juice and a little milk, if necessary. Because the zest was in at the beginning the flavour will become more powerful and strong. The sponges can now be steamed in the usual way.
