Hi. I tried to do a search for the complete recipe, but there are so many posts, I was struggling to find one with the ingredients and instructions. Could anyone point me in the right direction please?

Also, is it possible to make Lemon Drizzle Muffins?? Or did I dream this?

Ta.

Here you go. Cut and pasted from an earlier thread:

INGREDIENTS
9 oz sugar
9 oz butter
12 oz self-rising flour
4 eggs
3 t baking powder
6 Tbsp milk
grated rind from 2 lemons
juice from these lemons separately

METHOD

Preheat oven to 325 degrees/Gas Mark 3/170C/ Mix all the ingredients together in the mixer except for lemon juice. Bake in 9 X 11 (or 13) baking dish. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until knife comes out clean. While the cake is baking, squeeze the juice from the lemons and heat for 20 seconds or so in the microwave. Set at least one tablespoon aside to drizzle into the cake when it comes out of the oven. Take the balance of the warm lemon juice and add icing sugar (confectioners sugar) to consistency you like. As soon as you take the cake from the oven, prick cake with fork and pour over the reserved warm lemon juice. Next, spread the icing over the cake to finish it off.

All forgiven.

Kelly1978 has!

I just pop the mix into little muffin cases though to be honest mine plough through it at a great rate so I don't do that often.

Will send Kelly in this direction!

I jsut make up marsy's mix and put that into muffins. I've also done other muffins by subsituting the lemon rind for dried fruit like pineapple and papaya, and I've done chocolate ones. It works really well. It doesn't take so long to cook though, I think about 20 minutes. I do muffins since they are easier to store and put in lunchboxes.

Thank you ladies!!

Had to put my 2p worth in here.
I've just followed this recipe - its GORGEOUS! There is no way that there will be much left by the time my boyfriend gets home tonight!
I am forwarding it to all my friends.
Only comment on it would be how much it makes! I made 1 loaf tin cake and a dozen large fairy cakes. I am aware that I am gushing...but I love this recipe! x

I made the muffins - half the recipe and half the cooking time made 12 little cakes of joy. MY GOD they were gorgeous. Paper cases got a bit wet with the drizzle but moist deliicous muffiny heaven.
MARSLADY ROCKS!
