ooh! Hubby's got to work all Saturday, and I was thinking of doing a "treat" for him to take into the office with him. This fits the bill perfectly. Thank you!

 

I'm thinking of baking today to warm up the house a bit LOL! This sounds perfect. Plus I've been craving a lemony treat lately.......

 

me too! I will be making this! thanks

 

Got mine in the oven now. Will let you know how it turns out!

 

Just waiting for it to cool a bit so I can try it. I only used 4 oz of sugar for the topping bit.

 

This is DEFINITELY going on my make again list. Next time I will heat the sugar lemon mixture to dissolve the sugar. I might cut back the sugar a bit more as well. Other than that it is lovely!! Light and fluffy and the lemon flavor is excellent!! Thank you Jan for the recipe!

 

OOOOOOooooooh looking yummy, Catz!
I've made a start on mine....................I bought a lemon.

 

Heee Heee that's something. Actually it goes together really quickly. Not loads a faffing to get to the end and EATING! LOL!!.

 

I know what I'm doing today!! :-)

 

Seen as i've had the oven on ...seems ashame to waste all that heat...one Lemon Drizzle cake coming up

 

Jobs a gud un..Thanks for the recipe GJ

 

hmmm - didn't take a photo of mine, prob because I'm too embarrassed to show them! They did look like that, and then we had a cave-in! After adding the sugar-juice, the centre "crease" collapsed in. I'm still getting used to the new oven, and it's hard to find the equivalent of a "normal" baking setting. I'll try again....

 

I bet it was still tasty though!

 

looks so nice and cooked to perfection...
