Easy Lemon Drizzle Cake
Easy Lemon Drizzle Cake
Here we have a wonderfully Easy Lemon Drizzle 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 lemon cake recipe, I make it all the time, do you like Lemon in a Cake?
So many thanks to Melanie for this classic!
Who doesn’t love a classic Lemon Drizzle Cake?
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 limes or maybe a combination?
Maybe you could call it St Clements Drizzle Cake then?
I have to say though I love this traditional Lemon Drizzle! (although I’m tempted by Lime Drizzle cake I have to say)
Whenever I go to a new client or friends house and I need to take a cake. It’s normally this one or maybe my Cherry Maderia, but for sure it’s one of them.
A classic first bake type of cake!
I wrap in brown paper and tie with a lovely ribbon!
Makes the most perfect homemade gift!
Topping Your Lemon Drizzle Cake
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 too ….
