Marslady I Love You!

[FLAMEinEckItsYuleAgain]

FINALLY got round to making a LDC

You're welcome!

It's addictive... try not to get fat! PMSL!!!!!!!!!

It'd be worth it

I have the last slice left from one I made last Friday... I'm saving it for when the Dragons are in bed.

Am I now the only MNer who has never made one of these famous cakes??

Alright I give in .... link to recipe please...I know I shouldn't but it's practically Christmas

I'm making more tonight

What's LDC? Sounds like it's yummy and I'd love to find out!

Thanks

Lemon drizzle cake

Lemon Drizzle Traybake a la Mars Lady 4 eggs 9oz (250g) soft marg 9oz (250g)caster sugar 12oz (350g)s/r flour 3 level tsps baking powder 6 tbsp milk grated rind of 2 lemons. Mix all ingredients. Put in lined tin. Bake (about 30-40mins) I think I do it at about 180. Icing: Lemon juice (from 2 lemons) 12oz (350g) icing sugar sieved Warm lemon juice, mix icing sugar in. Prick warm cake and drizzle!

Gawd, I'm drooling already! What size cake tin?

I make mine in 2 standard loaf tins so a square one of similar proprtions would be fine!

EH? Aren't loaf tins long and thin and deep? Does the square one need to be deep?

i have loads of lemons in the fridge seeking a purpose in life, i will give this a go.

? The square tin I have is about the same as my 2 loaf tins put side by side... I make 2 loaf shaped LDCakes because I find it cuts easier.

I made one about 1/2 a loaf tin, and two round tins with some butter icing in the middle

Just use your normal roasting tin!

Miight have to give this a go. Sounds fab!

Flame, you could post me some of tomorrow's batch if I wasnt on a major diet now

Oh wow, thanks for the recipe - sounds delicious.

Is this one of those that tastes better the day after baking or just delicious warm? I'm going to make it and take to my weekly mum and baby friends on Friday, so shall I bake thursday or friday morning?

Thanks

Lucy

Tomorrow's is booked for a party, but we ARE meeting up in the new year, so I will come armed with cake
