has anyone ever made a lemon drizzle cake with jif lemon juice?

[nappyaddict]

we have no lemons but i really really really want to make this!!! mars said there was no reason it shouldn't work but had never tried it.

yes, me, and it was fine, you'd never have known

can i have some?

how much did you use for the cake and the icing?

is it meant to taste very lemony?? i've just pinched some of the mixture and i can't really taste any lemon at all.

Usually you put lemon zest in the mixture to make it lemony, but I expect you know that.

If you pricked the hot,cooked cake and poured a juice/sugar mix over it, it should taste a lot more lemony than the mixture would have.

Hope it was nice anyway!

Well I wouldn't normally, but if it's an emergency I guess it would work okay. It just won't be quite as good.

castille did you use jif in the mixture or just for the icing sugar and juice part?

LOL - when I see Jif it makes me think of the cream cleaner - don't use that.

Sorry, just seen this!

I only put the zest in the mixture, and save the juice for the topping.

how much jif did you use for the topping?

I used the equivalent volume of the juice of one lemon, but it's not an exact science - as long as you've got enough sugar/juice mix to pour over the whole surface of your cake it's fine.

do you have oranges? Its nice with oranges

oh, friday, ok, but it IS

i was thinkin about 6 tablespoons or would that be too much.

I wouldn't make it with a jif lemon as the grated rind goes in the mix and is gorgeous

DO try the oranges
