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!

180
as it said
or my cake tin must be too small
:(

Ok
How big is your cake tin?

Really don't worry. It will be fine.

BTW Mar's choccie cake ain't half bad either.

You had DP won over with that one Mars!

top is brown already not firm almost hard, i checked it with chopstick and its still like batter.
everybody said they done well:( not me
btw, i mixed the butter and sugar at about 3 oclock dd started crying and climbing onto me so i left it untill 7, does that make it bad???

I don't see why the mixture would be bad.
I once made it mid afternoon, ended up going out and cooked it later that evening.

Are you sure it's like batter?

I normally use a 2lb loaf tin for mine so anything around that size will be fine.

8-9 inches round cake tin> not sure only guess
is it ok if check again, you can tell im not domestic goddess i shall cut the crusty top and pour the lemon

Hmmmm

maybe the tin is too small. Is it too late to chop the top off and put into 2 tins?

getting there i think, one side is still not done, so turned around:( im not going to forget this lemon drizzle cake
thnx Nbg, you are STAR
really appreciate that, im on my own tonite, i thought ill impress dh when he comes tonite:)

think it made 2 of that size when I did it.

It's well worth it. If you'd have seen the thread which prompted this one you'll realise that this is nothing.

hmmm
well, my lemon drizzle is done now, if anyone sees the photo of it will laugh their socks off
it had well done crust on top therefore i didnt peirce it i actually made holes and pour the lemon syrup. well being well risen, it didnt work so i picked and ate the crust(being hot and still in the tin i couldn`t cut it) and pour the rest.
ahem, it tasted really nice, although it didnt looked like
next time will do it when dd gone bed and will defo use bigger tin
thank you for your cooperation hahahaha
well i off to finish my crust

Enjoy your crust me dear

hey !! nbg, think its only fair that a fellow mumsnetter gets to sample this lemon drizzle cake!! i love anything lemon!!

There was a similar recipe in Red magazine this month,which I have just made with dd. Very nice,and I don't normally eat cake.
The world has gone lemon drizzle crazy!!

Haven't had a good old Lemon Drizzle thread for ages

That reminds me that Waitrose Food Illustrated mag had a recipe for Lemon Drizzle cake recently, but done as a sponge, with a filling of mascarpone and lemon curd. Also a variation that sounded rather good: crusty orange and cointreau slices - replace the lemon in the recipe with orange zest and juice, and at the end mix 100g demerara sugar with 50ml cointreau and 50ml orange juice, and pierce and drizzle as normal. Haven't tried it, but sounded rather nice.

sounds nice indeed.
