Lemon Cake

Make a plain Victoria Sponge mix and cook off.

When cooked but still warm pour over 1tbs granulated sugar mixed with 2tbs lemon juice. The multiples of the mix will depend on the surface of the tray, try X2 to begin with.

The sugar stays on the top making a crunchy surface but the lemon juice soaks into the sponge and gives a delicate lemon flavour.


Gosh I have inspired myself now - ages since I made this.

Mmm, these sound delicious, but can someone please tell me what a traybake is? Sorry - probably a really silly question

kiwichick

think they are cakes or slices cooked in a tray rather than a deep tin

Mars Bar Cake

Chops up some Mars Bars, throw into a bowl over hot water to melt, mix in some butter and syrup. By this time it looks like the dogs dinner but don't worry...

Then stir in some rice crispies or corn flakes until they are covered in the chocolate mixture.

Pour into tray until cold, then slice. You can cover in chocolate as well but I usually use plenty of Mars bars and so don't need the added chocolate
