Steps: Preheat the oven to moderate, 180 degrees Celsius. Grease 2 x 6-hole heart shaped muffin trays with butter.
To make the sponge cake: beat the butter and sugar together using an electric whisk until very light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating each one in well before you add the next, then fold in the flour and lemon zest.
Decorate with gel-icing and candy hearts or alternatively dust with icing-sugar.
