When Life Hands You Lemons....

Don't make lemonade. Make lemon cake!!


This is very much a family favourite in our house, and very simple to make, so here goes.

I use one and a half times my standard cupcake mix, so as follows.

225g Caster Sugar
225g Margarine
260g Self Raising Flour
5 Eggs
1 Large Lemon - Juice
1 tsp Bicarbonate Soda

All the ingredients in one bowl and mix.


Then distribute evenly between two cake pans.


Then cook at gas mark 4 for 45 minutes, remove and allow to cool.


Then to decorate -

Butter Icing to fill - 1tsp Lemon Juice to give it a kick.


Lemon Icing to top, Juice of one Lemon, I added a dash of yellow food colouring.


Then Enjoy!!

Happy Baking
