OMG MY LEMON DRIZZLE IS BLOODY MARVELLOUS!!!

[Nbg]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!

It is so light and fluffy, I can't believe it. I normally crap at baking. This is such a hit!

rofl. Good on ya - i REALLY must try it one day.... Marsy keeps promising to send me some....

Can you imagine how wonderful it's gonna taste with all the RIGHT ingredients in? PMSL

Glad it worked out. Keep the thread cos if you don't like the original, at least you'll always have this one.

C'mon then out with the recipe. Haven't got this one yet.

I don't think I'll dare try it the proper way!

The only complaint I have with it is the icing is a bit too much for me but who cares, the cake is amazing!

Sparkler, see my "Arghhhhhhh Marslady" thread.

I have made a few substitutions and guesses!

a few?????

I can't get over how light and fluffy it is.

I have just tried searching for Mars' famous recipe, it has been mentioned soooo many times on MN I have started to salivate at the thought of it. I'm sure it was posted somewhere, can anyone help? [pleading emoticon]

So which recipe were you trying to use?

And then can we have the NBG special too??!

Cut and paste from old thread, is this the one you used Nbq?
Lemon Drizzle Cake

9oz sugar
9oz butter
12oz s/r flour
4 eggs
3 level tsp baking powder
6 tblsp milk
grated rind 2 lemons

Mix all together. Put in lined tray. Bake about 30-40 mins (until knife comes out clean). Prick cake with fork and pour over some warm lemon juice (see below).

Squeeze the juice from the lemons and heat (20 secs in microwave). Add icing sugar to consistency you like. Spread over cake.

You need to read this thread to understand the current thread

Even with all the substitutions??

Yep I used that one but......

Used 3 oz butter not marg and to make up the rest I added a good swig of sunflower oil.
Instead of using SR FLour, I used plain and added an extra 3 tsps of baking powder.

I take it you did actually have lemons and didn't end up with a chocolate cake instead...?

"a good swig" of sunflower oil!! pmsl

Yep had lemons.

I didn't know how to work out oz from liquid IYSWIM so I just threw it all in. Gawd knows how much went in.

I really wish you could all see it and taste it!

Apolgies needed, I should have put an acknowledgment to Marslady for this recipie.

Like a copyright?

1fl oz = 1 weighing oz according to my muffin book (I use a baby bottle!! )

I did say on the other threand. Hrumph.

Of course, you'll never be able to repeat this recipe exactly...

Pah!

Who needs measurements, sign of weakness

And who needs an ingredients list eh?

a good swig..... a good swig!!!!!!!!!! ROFLMAO

You can come and bake at mine any time lol

I can't stop shaking I'm laughing so much.

A good swig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly

What a bloody farcicle to get it done though

Well it was a good swig

I certainly didn't measure the stuff

Or how about a good glugg?

I see there was a whole "what tin should I use" thread too.

Double snort!

and to think how much trouble Mars went to to accurately post her recipe... s

I tell you what, my baking is always crap, I blame the pound shop scales I use though.
