    Please can you help me?
    I have lost my recipe, I had it years on a piece of paper and I can't find it. I am am sure someone posted on here along time ago. I have looked in the collections, but can not find it
    Can anyone help?

    Fingers crossed

    "Moist Lemon Cake
    Heres one of our family favourites i tend to doble up the amount and open freeze slices of the cake that way the teenager doesn't eat it all and i always have cake on hand for packed lunches last time i costed the recipe it was about 65p to make makes 8-10 slices

    Ingredients

    100g margarine
    75g caster sugar
    2 eggs
    175g self-raising flour
    1 jar lemon curd(smartprice/value is fine )
    1 level teaspoon baking powder

    Method

    1. Pre heat the oven to 200 degrees centigrade. Grease a 2lb loaf tin

    2. Place all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix together for about 5 minutes

    3. Pour the cake mixture into the prepared tin level the top.

    4. Bake for approximately 40 minutes until browned.

    This cake gets moister the longer you leave it, if you can!!!

    I have done a version using cocoa and marmalade as a chocolate orange cake too."

    Mines in the oven too. I picked up a leaflet in Tesco for lemon and almond cake and bought all the ingredients but have made this today instead as simpler will buy more lemon curd and make the other in the week when the house is quieter.

    I have a similar recipe for this, but it only used 1 tablespoon lemon curd and the grated zest of one lemon, the juice gets mixed with sugar and drizzled over.
