1. Preheat the oven to 160°C fan-forced. Grease and flour a 21cm fluted ring or kugelhopf tin.
2. For cake, place eggs and sugar in a bowl, using an electric hand beater beat until pale and fluffy, add the oil and lemon zest, beat for another minute then gently fold through the flour. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
3. For anglaise, combine the cream and milk in a saucepan, place over a medium heat until hot but not boiling, add lemon zest and remove from heat. Combine the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl, whisk until pale and fluffy, add a little of the hot milk, whisking constantly. Slowly add more milk continuing to whisk. When all milk is incorporated return mixture to the saucepan, place over a medium heat and stir until starting to thicken, stir in lemon juice and set aside to cool.
