After hearing two ladies talking about lemon love cake in the queue in Iceland, I had to butt in! She mentioned making this recipe from the allotment garden site. I ended up quadrupling the ingredients for my pretty pink dish. It was devoured for my sons birthday. I’m now making it again for my birthday gathering but using a whole jar of lemon curd as half a jar wasn’t quite enough! I can thoroughly recommend x
We absolutely love it!!!! I make it for my family at least 2 weekly. Delicious
My mum was a school cook and we lived on lemon love cake. This recipe is just as good as my mums original
This works really well with jam instead of lemon ☺️
