Preheat the oven to 160 C/325 F/gas mark 3.
Cream the butter and sugar together till light and fluffy and very pale in colour. Beat in Large eggs one at a time, following each with a spoonful of flour. Sift in the rest of the flour and mix in the creamed mix.
Gently mix in the rest of the geranium leaves.
Turn into a greased and lined tin. Bake in the preheated oven till well risen and golden brown in colour. Cold in the tin for 5-10 min, then turn onto a wine cooling rack (with a plate underneath if you are going to glaze it).
For the glaze: Sift the icing sugar and gradually add in water. Pour over the cake whilst still hot. Decorare with scented geranium leaves and flowers.
