Lemon Cream Cheese Butter Cake

I love this cake, it is so buttery but with the addition of cream cheese and lemon zest it truly stands out as one of the best butter cakes around. I have been making this cake for years but I find it so much easier and quicker to make in the Tefal Cuisine Companion.  This recipe I've adapted for the Tefal Cuisine Companion from an AWW cookbook.

Pre heat oven to 160deg fan forced. Grease 20cm ring tin or baba tin.
