    This is incredibly easy to make and delicious.

    The lemon curd is very easy to make, so don't be put off!

    I just bake a standard sponge and then whilst its still warm mix some lemon juice with some caster sugar (nearly a paste) and plonk on the top . Something my mum did, and I've copied. you end up with the lemon soaking into the top of the cake and a hard sugar top.

    I do exactly the same, and its tastes so moist and sweet but leaves your palate wanting more......I can't keep discussing food threads its making me hungry.
    I had a plan..........its here somewhere.

    170g self raising flour
    170g caster sugar
    4tbsp milk
    Grated rind of 1 lemon

    For the drizzle:
    Juice of 1 lemon 3 heaped tbsp icing sugar.
    • Preheat oven to Gas 4/180c or Gas 5/190c for muffin size
    • Place all cake ingredients into a bowl or processor and mix until smooth
    • Place in tin of your choice and bake for 40-45 minutes, 15-20 for smaller size.
    • Mix syrup ingredients together, *word has been censored * hot cakes with a skewer or fork and pour the syrup over. Leave in tin to cool completely.

    I make Mr BE's choc yoghurt cake - but leave out the cocoa - and add 1 tsp lemon extract and the rind of a lemon. When it's cooked and still hot, stab it all over with a skewer and pour over the juice of the lemon mixed with 3 tbsp of sugar.
