Hi Pixie,

We have an older thread with lots more ideas for using up lemon curd so I've added your thread to that one to keep the suggestions together.

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

Thanks. I was just looking for this recipe and this popped to the top of the forum. Thank you.

I've just made some HM lemon curd partly using the Delia recipe (quantities) but using the method here http://www.finecooking.com/recipes/lemon_curd.aspx?pg=1

I'm going to make it into cakes once it's cooled.

Edit: HM lemon curd recipe is delicious :-)

The above website says it freezes well so will be making lots.
