Oh my, I've just made that lemon drizzle traybake for the first time....

[petunia]

...and it's gooood! DD's had 4 squares of it already! Can I freeze it OK?

That's cos he hasn't seen my lemons

So will he be!

So that 9 oz of sugar - is it all caster sugar?

Yes!

Oh help, I've just read some of this post properly - my cake is in completely the wrong tin!! It is in a small round tin and no wonder it is nearly hitting the top of the oven and still not ready after 50mins!

Still, am loving MN's shared enthusiasm for getting busy baking... Thanks MarsLady and I can't wait to eat the results despite mine looking a bit like an overgrown muffin

Also I don't have any icing sugar, whoops.

Just mix granulated sugar with the COLD lemon juice. It'll be a nice crunch topping!

I do hope your oven survives the oversized cake!

right... must bake for the school fair. Hmmmmmmmmmm..... maybe a .... oh I don't know..... ldc?

Am confused .. WHY would you want to freeze it?! None survives long enough in our house to actually FREEZE any of it.

You're nutters.

PMSL!!!!!!!!!!! Well put RubberDuck

Oh brilliant, will try that (with caster sugar if that won't be a disaster, I'm clearly woefully equipped). Off to have another peek in the oven! Thanks so much for the help!

That seemed to work! It's the biggest muffin I've ever seen and I'm finding it very hard not to tuck straight in

Don't tuck in. If you start you'll stay till you finish..... lol

If I eat the whole cake, does this count towards two portions of fruit???

abso-bloody-lutely.

Have a glass of wine with it as well - THREE portions of fruit

All the butter must be rather good for calcium intake too?!!

...and protein from the eggs

Cor, it's practically a health food...

ssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... stop mentioning LDC. Rumour has it that.... it's not an original Marslady recipe!

Anyway, with your name I think you should invent a traybake with main ingredient being Mars Bars... get to it...

Funny you should say that.............
