The 52 Marvellous Makes Madness Challenge - Week 10!

Another week, another make although I use that term liberally as this a a few weeks ago make but nevermind. 
Now as you know I love cake and you may also know already I love lemon so this is the ultimate cake for me...


Now Hubby Biscuit on the other hand is not a fan of lemon and declared that this was "not one of my best" to which he was promptly requested to "not eat any more of it then!".  My boys liked it even with flowers, glitter and it's bottom enthroned on a pink flower-shaped cake stand.
It was actually worth putting off my daily cappuccino till a more appropriate cake eating time in order to have a slice on my favourite pretty plate...



*sigh* cake!!

    You can send all of Hubby Biscuits cake portions down here.. Lemon cake is the best...I always choose lemon over everything else {or at least first, as well as everything else...} x

    You wicked, wicked woman putting pictures of delicious cake in front of me! I've just spent the morning moaning to my trainer that I have plateaued weight wise, so there is no more cake for me in the next few weeks because I secretly think that too much cake (is there such a thing?) may be the problem!!! Well, actually it was treacle ginger biscuits, but hey ho!
    p.s. lemon is nice, but coffee and walnut is better :-)

    Victoria, coffee and walnut is what Hubby Biscuit always ask for but I refuse to bake what I cannot eat! Although it is his birthday next week so I may surprise him...
    You're both mad, coffee flavoured anything is YUCK!
    But you know, each to their own!

    If Mr Biscuit doesn't like lemon cake, then it leaves all the more for you.... :O)))) I like to add caraway seeds to my lemon cake mixture.

    I'll tell you a secret, the sides were so overdone 'cause as usual I was doing two things at once, just check out how dark that top sponge is (first photo), luckily the lemon saved the sponge from drying out to much.
    Tasted divine though.

    I love lemon cake and am similarly blessed with a husband who doesn't, except when it's lemon drizzle cake and then apparently that's ok, but anything resembling lemon curd definitely isn't - how odd. But all the more for the rest of us. Thanks for popping over to my blog to say hello, sorry it's taken me ages to come to yours, I do like your pretty plate - I must try and remember to get mine out to have cake on in a civilised manner! xx

    I've just (very slowly, obviously) noticed you've got the same blog background as me but in a different colour! I'm off to check up on your cats now xx

Had to put the annoying word verification back on as the spam was getting silly. Forgive me! Ali
