I cut this cake into 8 slices. Cost of cake approx - 85p. So much nicer than a cake from 99p/£1 shop plus only 6 ingredients! I used butter and there are no artificial flavourings/preservatives in it. When you read the ingredients of a bought cake - such a long list and chemicals that - who knows what they are. The squeezed lemon went in the fridge - Mr F adds water - puts it in the MW for a hot drink. No waste in this house.
I will give the recipe if anyone wants it.
