AJuff Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 The easiest and most delish cake yet!!! 6oz SR Flour 6oz sugar 4oz Olivio/Bertolli 2 egg Rind one lemon 4 tablespoons milk Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Bake in lined 2lb loaf tin at 160 ºC for 45 – 60 minutes. After cooking, while still hot, make holes in cake with a skewer and pour over lemon sauce. Lemon Sauce; Juice of one lemon 4 tablespoons Icing Sugar Dissolve icing sugar in lemon juice in a pan over a low heat It was SOOOOOOOOO nice that I'm going to try an orange cake tomorrow!! And after that a chocolate orange cake. I am told that it freezes well so is great when you haven't the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Sounds suspiciously like a Lemon Drizzle Cake. An all time Omleteer favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aga n Chickens Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Def sounds like a take on the Lemon Drizzle Cake smacks lips Less 'fat' than I expected as I often use the same weight of fat/sugar/flour, so this might be a healthier alternative I have all the ingredients minus the Olivio, so I'll give it a go when I get back from the shops Kind regards, Christine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Tried this recipe this morning. It makes a lighter textured cake than the recipe I normally use. Delicious. Will be using this one in future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chook n Boo Mum Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 mmmmm mmmmm This was simply yummy...and prompted all kinds of "good life" type comments at the school picnic on Friday as it was accompanied by a homemade loaf which had finished minutes before I left the house so was packed on top of the bag wrapped in a teatowel with the cake, a bread board & knife, a lump of cheese, a pack of homemade elderflower cordial and several bottles of water. I felt very smug especially when the waitrose pre-packed picnics came out of the coolers..........is this wrong of me ? Sha x p.s. maybe next time I'll try & make some cheese too ! I'd definitely be "that mad Wild woman" then wouldn't I?! I didn't have enough of my girlies eggs to use them that day:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Nowt wrong with being smug - when Ibring out homemade muffins forthe kids on occasions everyone says how do you find time - you make it - home made goodies are nice for the kids and I hope they will appprecaite it as they get older Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 I think if you've made the effort you deserve to be smug and very pleased with yourself. I'm glad you enjoyed it, we love it here at home!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I made another one today.......and it's all gone.............how did that happen ?! Thanks again for the recipe, it's now printed & tucked in with my "regularly used selection"! Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I made this loaf the other day, it is lovely! I didn't use Olivio, just regular Stork for baking, and it turned out fine. I did leave it in the oven for an hour though, it seemed to want the longer cooking time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clucker1 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 You deserve to feel as smug as you want CB! Well done to you and all of us who home bake. Far better than the junk from the supermarkets. My children are SPOILT with all of the home made cakes I make. What I love best (hee hee) is when their friends come round and say how delish the cakes are and how lucky the children are to have me making cakes for them. They are always soooo grateful, it makes it soooo worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Sounds yummy! I make a similar sort of cake with organic (unwaxed) lemons when I can get them reduced! I weigh the eggs and use the same flour and sugar but reduce the fat (butter! ) by about a third. After the drizzle I leave it in the tin for a while too. We also make all our own bread and get similar comments...'How do you do it' etc! Just a case of being organised really, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iar fach goch Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Made with YS this afternoon, it was so easy he needed very little help. Really yummy and much lighter than my normal lemon drizzle cake. This will now be my lemon drizzle cake. Thanks for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Well, I've tasted the s"Ooops, word censored!"ings (where it stuck to the tin) and I can confirm it's delish . Doesn't seem quite as greasy as the other recipe (which is still delish too though!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I have a fridge full of lemons bought for elderflower cordial and then not used. Well, it would be a shame to waste them, wouldn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Feeling a little guilty about bumping up an old recipe now you are all busy baking! Although it is a great way of using up all those lemons bought for elderflower cordial and fizz, that's what I did anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Another one baked today and currently being demolished. I didn't have any lemon so have make the cake without the rind and used some jif lemon for the drizzle with icing sugar Still delish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatieB Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I have number two in the oven with the same recipe I really like it but wonder can I put extra lemon in it and more drizzle as I like really really lemony cake or would it ruin the consistency?

Chickendoodle Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I recently made a lemon loaf from the Paul Hollywood book - it has lemon curd in the cake mix. Can't see why you couldn't replace one or 2 tablespoons of the milk with lemon curd? The milk is only there to lighten the mix up a bit so I don't think it would affect the balance of ingredients. The Paul Hollywood one is a bit different as its a standard creamed butter/caster sugar recipe rather than an all in one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
