Pre-heat the oven to 180 °C (Gas Mark 4). Grease a springform (26 cm diameter) with butter and dust with flour. Cream the butter, sugar and salt and then whisk in the eggs singly.

Elderflower syrup has a delicate flowery aroma and is not only tasty in cakes: add a dash of elderflower syrup to cream desserts or Prosecco for a very delicious flavour.
