***MARS***Your lemon drizzle cake was so good.......

[bigknickersbigknockers]

That DH has asked if you have any more recipes that are so yummy, they dont have to be cake recipes... savory ones will be great. Anything that is really delicious.

There is far too much detail in that recipe, that is not it.

It is really but it is not the one Mars posts.

do you let it cool in the tin or remove it while its hot

I'm a scientits - detail is good.

Is this better?

Et voila 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!

Now that is the Mars, I know and love.

Sprry to be a pain - can I have some carification regarding the order of the following events:

Remove from oven (I know this is first before you shout!!!)
Remove from tin
Prick & drizzle with lemon juice
Top with icing
Cool
Eat (Know thi si last)

Sorry to be a pain - but Mars instructions are a bit.......

Brief

Quick - I need to know - cakes in teh oven

Please

Vague is the word.....

But what is the question ??

Can you put the folloowing list in the right order please?

Remove from oven (I know this is first before you shout!!!)
Remove from tin
Prick & drizzle with lemon juice
Top with icing
Cool
Eat (Know thi si last)

That order is fine.

This cake really is foolproof, so don't worry about the order too much.

I tend to remove, cool slightly, I don't do juice straight in (but this is just me) I then prick and cover with gloopy icing sugar made with the warm lemon juice.

TY - my kitchen (and hands) smell fab at the moment.

I will send you a virtual slice

Cake

Drizzle

what happened to the drizzle scientist?

Far too runny (& I ran out of icing sugar to thicken). Tasted bad. The cake was like a mountain. About 3inches high in the middle, less than an inch at the sides so it would have run straight off. Cakes OK w/o it so I have thrown the icing away. Going to try a lemon syrup recipe to top it next time.

Moulinex was fab tho

Thanks Sherlock - I will just bung a lot in

Marslady, finally made my first lemon drizzle cake today (one in a loaf tin and a dozen muffins). What can i say but...divine

I made it on Saturday for the first time (baby is 5 days overdue so I have time on my hands to try all those recipes I have meaning to try), served it to the in-laws for tea yesterday, and it is fabulous. Will become a firm favourite. Thanks MarsLady.

just made the choc version and its delicious.. although it has sunk a bit in the middle but the only reason i can think for this happening is that i kept opening the oven door near the end of the cooking time to see if it was ready. still yummy though.
