The best Lemon Drizzle cake please..?

[ivykaty44]

tried and tested which recipe is the best?

Isn't it the mumsnet one?

Haven't made it in ages actually.

Yep, the MN one.

Don't do Tana Ramsey's, it was easy but the crust didn't crust

Don't tease us by saying 'the MN ine' and not post a link! That's just teasing!

Yy I found tana's one disappointing despite rave reviews online. I like Rachel Allens one here.

This was the middle tier of my wedding cake. You need to make butter icing (icing sugar, butter and lemon curd) to go in the middle. It was phenomenally moist and extremely lemony. I've had a million requests for the recipe.

For lazy people who cant' be bothered to look in the recipe section.

I can't understand the hoo-hah about the MN one. It doesn't give the tin size which is unhelpful, and it doesn't tell you to mix lemon juice and caster sugar for the drizzle which is the only way you get the essential crunchy top. The best thing about the whole Moldies affair was not having to endure posters constantly w*nking on about this bloody recipe and its perpetrator.
Why not try Nigella's version?

The tin size is the same as the one I always make square cake in.

Stop it, Animaux, you'll go blind.

thanks mamaloves I will try the cake you have linked to

The Marslady lemon drizzle cake is divine, and remains my favourite.

Really want to make one now...!

Enjoy, it's delicious .

There's a recipe for Moist Lemon Cake in a book I have called something like Perfect Cakes Every Time. It's absolutely the best lemon drizzle cake I've ever made or eaten, I'll try and dig out the book in a mo.

I found the MN one too buttery. Nothing wrong with the M&S one if you ask me

MarsLady's LDC I have had it made by the lady herself and it is AMAZING and now follow this recipe too and it has never failed me.
HTH

Hale - there isn't a size for the tin on the marslady recipe - would it be 20x20? Or 20x30

Experiment if you are not sure re tim size Marslady would have done

This one is the best MN one. V Easy, light & fluffy whereas i find the Marslady one a bit heavy. I do put more lemon juice in and less milk though as i like it very zingy.

will never make drizzle cake again after discovering "little lemon-ton" cakes in the lastest issue of "Good Food Magazine". Oh my word, lemony, moist and just divine.

Ivykaty - I use a square tin so I think it's 20X20cm
