This is a new addition to the family repertoire - but not much of a risk: Blueberries and sour cream always make for a moist and tasty cake. I neglected to make two - one lasts just an hour or two around here! (Jane)

Method1. Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare an 8 inch round cake pan.
(To prepare pan: take a piece of greaseproof paper and put baking pan on top. Go around the outside with a pencil and cut out circle. Take a dab of butter onto left over greaseproof paper and grease inside of pan. Add in a tablespoon of flour and shake around. Put in the precut circle of greaseproof paper.) 
2. Cream butter, sugar and grated lemon rind (i.e use mixer beaters at low speed - or the back of a spoon - to force the sugar into the butter until soft and smooth).
3. Add eggs one at a time. Beat well after each addition.
4. Using a large metal spoon fold in sifted flour and bicarb of soda into butter and sugar mixture until just combined.
