Lemon / orange drizzle cake

I've done this one:

which was delicious !
Can't see any reason why you couldn't freeze it. Last time I made it I did something funny accidentally with the lemon and sugar mix and the cake had a really crispy top which was really good - I think if you froze it you probably wouldn't get that - but it wasn't supposed to be like that anyway I don't think !

One thing: it was so good it went in a flash - if you're going to do it why not do two ?

I will try my best to find my recipe (esp as I promised my sis one for her b'day next week) as that was very well recieved. Will get back to you...

EDIT - OK mine was very similar to the one posted above but used granulated sugar in the topping mix and lemon juice in the cake mix instead of milk.

I've made this one a few times and love it: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/4942/lemon-drizzle-cake

I might try the one in post 2 next time to compare.

This one is the best by a country mile. I have won awards at work with this cake and it has been rated 342 times on the BBC Good Food website with 5 stars.

Snap! Well if you've won awards maybe I'll just stick with this one then! It's gorgeous isn't it? And so easy to make.

Thank you for all your quick responses!
Will go with Viktory's recommendation as it's an award winner!

Only need to make the one cake as I'm already making a Rasberry & White Chocolate Cheesecake and a Truffle Torte to serve.

Yum!

I'd vote for this one, made it for a fund raiser coffee morning and there was nearly a punch-up over the last slice!

edit: thinking I might make one for xmas as a lighter variation..........

I make one that I got off the recipe index but it only uses 2 eggs. It's really delish and has become a firm favourite. Tried it with limes when they were plentiful and it was nice as well.

I'd definately go with the good food one by tana ramsay. ive made it a few times and its gone down an absolute storm, its really easy to make and it freezes really well.

Thanks for the reminder, I just made it since I had a net of lemons in the fridge looking sad, it smells delicious, all lemony...
