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!

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 first bake type of cake! I wrap in brown paper and tie with a lovely ribbon! Makes the most perfect homemade gift!

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….
