Today I had lunch at Marcus & Mel’s and as always I knew they’d serve up something spectacular for lunch, so I offered to bring something sweet.
My
When I was growing up, my favourite cake – that I always requested Mum make for my birthday each year – was a lemon poppyseed cake, cooked in a bundt tin, with lemon syrup drizzled all over and down the centre hole. So. Good.
Well, Jamie’s lemon drizzle cake is not dissimilar to Mum’s, but baked in a plain round tin and not just drizzled with lemon syrup but with runny lemon icing as well, I was kind of worried that it was going to be a VERY moist cake once sliced. But Jamie got it right and his nan’s lemon drizzle cake was a crowd pleaser with the kids and the big kids at lunch today.
It brought back lots of fond memories from my childhood including the old poppy-seeds-in-teeth conundrum.
