(If you have two tins you can bake two separate sponges<br \/>\nand reduce the cooking time.)<br \/>\nPut the cake ingredients (minus the courgette) into a large bowl and beat together until perfectly combined and creamy in appearance \u2013 a stand mixer<br \/>\nis perfect for this.<br \/>\nFold in the courgette and pour the mix into the cake tin. Lightly smooth over the top. Place on the second set of runners down from the top with the cold plain shelf beneath your bake. This is a long bake for a sponge cake at one hour 10 minutes (at least, it was in my Aga.) You\u2019ll need to keep an eye on your cake and adjust according to the foibles of your Aga). Make sure the top doesn&#8217;t brown too quickly and adjust accordingly.\u00a0 If the cake is cooking too quickly, place it in the oven below your roasting oven &#8211; it should be at 110 degrees.<\/p>\n<p>Check the cake is cooked through by inserting a skewer. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin for 20 minutes.<br \/>\nMix a little caster sugar with the juice of a lemon, then skewer the top of the cake in several places and pour over the syrup just as you would for a lemon drizzle cake.<br \/>\nCarefully remove the cake from the tin and place on a rack until it has\u00a0 cooled completely.<br \/>\nMake the icing by whisking all the ingredients together until smooth and fluffy.<br \/>\nOnce the cake is cooled, carefully cut in half to create two sponges.<br \/>\nUse some of the icing to sandwich the sponges together, then use a palette knife to smooth the rest of the icing overthe cake. Chill for 20 minutes before<br \/>\nserving.
