A moist sponge with zingy lemon icing on the top. Made yesterday and enjoyed by my personel trainers, Steve and Roxy - who ate a slice each before my hour PT session had even finished!
The best batch yet - icing perfect! The Picnic Fayre Deli in Cley had better watch out, their days of having the best Lemon Drizzle Cake in Britain could be over!!
This is the chocolate marble cake I made for my nephews school fete in the classic Guess the weight of the cake competition. The answer: 13lb and 12oz.
Today is Stir Up Sunday. The last Sunday before Advent. I made my xmas puddings today, after soaking the fruit is brandy overnight. They are now steaming away in the slow cooker for several hours. This process makes them very moist and full of flavour. Stir-up Sunday dates back to Victorian times, when cooks prepared the Christmas pudding by stirring the mixture and adding silver coins as good luck token!
