Read the reviews ranging from terrible to excellent. Average would be OK for me so cooked it like a slice, iced with lemon icing. Used plenty of lemon. Cut into dainty slices. Made it for book club and will now always use this recipe with different flavours. Excellent.

Oliver

mabel wilton

It was really good but I am wonder whether or not you need the syrup because I didn't use it, and my cake ended up tasting quite dry and not very lemony.

Joanne

Easiest cake ever to make! Tastes great too!

Method

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.
