Lemon / orange drizzle cake

JulieM

Here is a different lemon drizzle recipe which makes a 2lb loaf cake.

125g soft marg
100g caster sugar
150g SR flour
2 eggs
2tbsp lemon curd
For the topping:
2tbsp granulated sugar and juice of a lemon

Beat marg, caster sugar, flour, eggs and lemon curd together. Spoon into greased 2lb loaf tin, base lined with greaseproof (or preferably use loaf tin liner) and bake 45mins at 180C (350F, gas 4) test with skewer, if it comes out clean it's done. Mix together topping, pour over warm cake and leave in tin until cold.

If you use the search terms lemon + drizzle it gives you the Lemon/orange drizzle cake recipe thread.

Hi skintmum,

I've added your thread to the main lemon drizzle cake thread to keep the recipes together.

Hi I too love and make Lemon cake but I am looking for a very quick and easy Chocolate cake mixture .I used to have one that an Austrian friend gave me but lost it when I moved house .Sadly my pal is no longer on this earth which is a shame as she was an amazing cook.I can't seem to find one that doesn't involve a lot of faffing about . I'm not too good at beating cake mixes as I have restricted movement in my right arm so its got to be an easy-peasy one please

Good morning.

I was wondering if anyone has a wonderful "tried and tested" Lemon Drizzle Cake recipe please?

I have googled for one but would prefer a recommendation as they are all slightly different.

Also, would I be able to make it and freeze it as I need it for Boxing Day so it would be easier if I could make it in advance?

Many thanks.
