🍋Lemons what cake can I make but not drizzle?

[Eggybreadwithnuts]

Got 4 medium size lemons and want to make a cake. Did lemon drizzle last week.
Any suggestions? Nothing too complicated!

Lemon flavoured sponge with a curd filling?

Mix lemon curd with whipped double cream. World's best frosting over lemon sponge.

Lemon and poppyseed cupcakes.

Or instead of a cake - what about lemon and polenta biscuits?

Ooo lemon cupcakes are my favourite. I’ve used the Primrose Bakery recipe before and they turned out nice. Lemon butter icing made with zest and squeeze of juice is really nice!

Love this idea!

Lemon cheesecake 😋

Not a cake but Delia's lemon surprise pudding is lovely.

Love cheesecake idea
Dont have curd but like idea of victoria sponge with lemon curd filling

Lemon and blueberry loaf cake is lovely.

It’s very easy to make lemon curd. And very different to shop stuff, unless it’s Tiptree which is grand.

What’s the surprise?

It is self-saucing so you end up with a light lemon sponge on top and a gooey lemon sauce on the bottom.

That sounds amazing! Thanks, I’ll look it up.

I make a cake with lemon, blueberries, chocolate and marzipan - and with a lemon glaze on top. It's inspired from a local bakery chain, but improved (lots) by me with some added ingredients (the marzipan and mixed types of chocolate, for instance). The cake gets devoured every time.

Make a sponge with the lemon zest, use the juice for curd or basically a simple version of it, half cup water, half cup lemon juice, 3 level tablespoons cornflour, 3 egg yolks, throw the lot in a saucepan and whisk together to get out lumps then bring to boil whisking continually (will only take minutes), add whatever amount of sugar you think it needs to get to sweetness level you like then strain it through a sieve and add a matchbox size bit of butter, stir until melted, place parchment or cling down on surface to stop skin forming and let it cool. Either use on it's own in cake with layer of cream/buttercream or add to the cream, I prefer them separate but either works.

Lemon Pond Puddle cake.

This Mary Berry one is absolutely delicious and uses 3 lemons. I made it for DH’s birthday and he loved it.

I make a basic pound cake recipe but add in earl grey, tea soaked , mixed dried fruit and grated lemon zest. Delicious!

I quarter and open freeze surplus lemons, pur into a bag or box once frozen. Then just take out when a recipe calls for lemon juice, defrost in microwave if necessary.. I sometimes chop a frozen quarter in half and add to G&T

Use them all to make lemon curd, the spend every day eating it on crumpets, until it runs out. Then buy lemons again and make more.
