I don't know where to post this, so decided to post it here.
I really want to try to make the above title, however I am unsure whether I need a 1lb Loaf Tin or a 2lb Loaf Tin.
Has anyone made it and if so, what size loaf tin did you use? I tried googling the answer but kept getting different answers!
Thank you.
The recipe is below:

The recipe is below:
Method
- Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Beat together 225g softened unsalted butter and 225g caster sugar until pale and creamy, then add 4 eggs, one at a time, slowly mixing through. Sift in 225g flour, then add the finely grated zest of 1 lemon and mix until well combined. Line a loaf tin (8 x 21cm) with greaseproof paper, then spoon in the mixture and level the top with a spoon.
- Bake for 45-50 mins until a thin skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. While the cake is cooling in its tin, mix together the juice of 1 1/2 lemons and 85g caster sugar to make the drizzle. !!!!! the warm cake all over with a skewer or fork, then pour over the drizzle – the juice will sink in and the sugar will form a lovely, crisp topping. Leave in the tin until completely cool, then remove and serve.

This one is 21 x 7.5 cm (so roughly the same size as yours) and it's described as a 2lb loaf tin

I make this cake in a 2lb tin. It's a fabulous cake.Trying to be a man is a waste of a woman0

I've made this before! It's the one baking thing I can actually do, haha. I didn't have a loaf tin so used a normal round cake one, but based on the quantiies, I'd say go bigger just in case. Enjoy!0

Made this cake a few times in a 2lb tin. The llb tin would be too small.The forest would be very silent if no birds sang except for the birds that sang the best0
