Just made this cake yesterday and by evening it was all gone. I had hoped to have seconds today but no such luck. I love Lemon Drizzle but this has to be my favourite version. So moist and the sweetness and tartness perfectly balanced. Going to try the ginger cake next. Thanks for a fab recipe.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13769529494294287385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-85318711629296380292011-05-23T21:36:58.655+01:002011-05-23T21:36:58.655+01:00This is a very good version - I've never had m...This is a very good version - I've never had much luck with lemon drizzle cakes, mainly I find them too wet, or too dry. This icing mostly sits on top and is pleasantly crunchy and the almonds see off any possibility of it being dry. I've made it three times since this post and it has had the honour of being printed off and put in a plastic wallet marked "make again"...not many cakes get that (one of your sticky ginger ones is keeping it company!).Miss Mhttp://miamyum.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-7990072256186473622011-04-02T02:42:33.641+01:002011-04-02T02:42:33.641+01:00I've been reading your blog for ages and have ...I've been reading your blog for ages and have never commented for some reason.
