I’d never made a lemon cake before last weekend despite it being one of my favourites, oh heck! who am I kidding? nearly all cake is my favourite that’s why I’m not a size 8. But after getting sick last week with a cold I was left with a glut of lemons, so I decided to make a lemon cake.
I opted for this one from Lorraine Pascale which was featured in the ‘good to know’ magazine as it sounded quite delicious and healthy too at 159 calories a slice. I have to say the second one I made came out better than the first but was still delicious all the same. I’ve altered the recipe slightly as I like my lemon cake a bit zingier and used dairy free spread so I think it could be lower in calories still.
