It is a very easy cake and I will make it again - with some adjustments. It defintely takes more than 20 minutes in the oven, I took it out too early (even after leaving longer than this recipe says) and it collapsed on itself. After reading other comments this may have also been because of the baking powder ratio. I also prefer zestier cakes so will be doubling the amount of lemon and I found the glaze a bit unnecessary so only put about half on.

Beautiful cake! Zingy and moist. I used 2 tsp of baking powder as recommended by others in the comments and it turned out great. I also found the baking time to be 35 mins rather than 20 mins.

Delicious and moist. But I didn't do the syrup I iced it instead I used 1 and 1/2 cups icing sugar rind off 1 lemon 1 teaspoon butter and enough boiling water to make it a smooth consistency! Huge hit!! Will make again definitely.
Preheat oven to 180ºC bake. Grease and line an 18cm square baking tin.
Place all cake ingredients together in a food processor, in the order listed above, and process for 15 seconds.
Pour mixture into prepared tin and bake for 20-25 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
For topping - mix the lemon juice, Chelsea White Sugar and boiling water together to form a runny syrup. Spoon topping onto cake while hot. Leave to cool in tin.
NOTE: This recipe can also be made with electric hand mixers. Place all cake ingredients in a bowl in the stated order and mix until combined.
Super easy to make, has a really light and fluffy texture. Ratios seemed a little off for baking powder to flour and the taste of the baking powder was evident. Overall, if you're looking for a quick and easy yet delicious baking treat, this recipe is your go to!
