Fantastic flavour and turned out light and fluffy, almost a sponge. Should have read the reviews though. The lemon drizzle wasn't a good idea as it left the bottom of the cake soggy. Lemon icing would be much better and I agree, 20 minutes was not long enough. I left mine closer to 30 and it was perfect., approved=true, user_name=Warren, hs_createdate=1702249873767, rating_new__1_5_=4, id=11175589746}, {comment_text=Brilliant., approved=true, user_name=CakenGifts.in, hs_createdate=1702249873749, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175556178}, {comment_text=A very flat cake - very disappointing., approved=true, user_name=Beks, hs_createdate=1702249873725, rating_new__1_5_=1, id=11175634787}, {comment_text=Love this lemon cake, I also mix orange rind, it's beautiful and moist., approved=true, user_name=1473541498, hs_createdate=1702249873677, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175452005}, {comment_text=I let this cake cool down and when it was out of the tin it all fell apart.
