Can I make lemon drizzle cake without almonds?

[gregssausageroll]

Hate them!

Replace the ground almonds with semolina

You could probably just replace them with the same weight in flour. Is it only 50g anyway?

Yes, it is a small amount but making it for the first time so don't want to spend money on ingredients that will linger in the cupboard!

I've never made one with almonds! Do you want me to find my recipe?

DZoH won't eat nuts of any type in any form. He makes the World's Best Lemon Drizzle Cake using just flour.

Oh, and butter, eggs and lemon of course.

Marslady's lemon drizzle cake - the Mumsnet classic, and not an almond in sight...

Yes please purple. Just got the recipe from bbc good food but happy to look at others.

Thanks rusty!

The good food one that is made in a round tin (as oppsed to a loaf tin) is really really nice. I was going to recommend it but when I checked it had 50g almonds too.

Do Mary Berrys recipe that Iloveonionrungs points to.
I love Mary's cakes. The lemon drizzle is yummy.

250g unsalted butter, 200g caster sugar, 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest, 4 eggs, 250g self raising flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 2 tablespoons lemon juice. This fills an 8.5" tin. Preheat oven to gas 3/170c

Cream butter and sugar then add lemon zest and eggs. Fold in flour and baking powder, then lemon juice. Mix and then put in tin, bake for 1hr 20mins.

This recipe has a crunchy rather than drizzle topping but it's delicious. Mix up 110g sugar and 3 tablespoons lemon juice. Brush over the top of the warm cake, the juice sinks in and the sugar forms the top crunch.
