Easy Lemon Drizzle Cake

Easy Lemon Drizzle Cake – from the lovely Mel

Here we have a wonderfully Easy Lemon Cake recipe, my lovely friend Melanie shared it with me 18 months ago. Thank you. It also won a competition with Homepride and was published in Freds 50th Book! A real classic recipe, I make it all the time, do you like Lemon in a Cake? So many thanks to Melanie for this classic!

It’s so moist, so easy and so tasty, it’s a real winner. Who doesn’t love a classic Lemon Drizzle Cake? There are many many recipes for Easy Lemon Drizzle Cakes in books and on the net but I promise you this is amazing! I imagine that you could also make it with oranges and lines or maybe a combination? I think you could call it St Clements then? I have to say though i love this traditional Lemon Drizzle!

And if you want to make this lemon cake even more special try adding a tub mascarpone mixed with icing sugar and lemon juice to taste for a special topping!! It’s really delicious but its also wonderful without….

It's still my fave too and great for with a cuppa or a nice afternoon tea. I'd like to say it keeps well but it's never in the tin long enough to test it x
