Super easy recipe. I reduced the baking powder to 2 tsp also after reading other reviews. I also used gluten free flour. I didn't add the lemon zest as I find my kids sometimes complain it's too bitter, so just added the juice of a very large lemon. The result was great. Tastes delicious. No one knew it was g/f. I'll be making this again soon for a birthday cake. So easy it's ridiculous., approved=true, user_name=Heidi, hs_createdate=1702249858778, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175495766}, {comment_text=Love how easy this is. And delicious. Didn't think the ratio of 3:1 for b.powder seemed right so just used self-raising flour instead and worked a treat. A few holes in the cake when it's out of the oven, to get that syrup bleeding all the way through, was a stroke of genius I'm sure. Also sure normal people probably do that as well- we're all genius'!
