Friday Cake Bake
I saw this cake in Saturday's Guardian magazine and thought I would like to try it. I had all the ingredients in the cupboard except lemons and poppy seeds which we bought earlier in the week. The poppy seeds were 50p from the local health food shop and the lemons 99p for a bag from Aldi - so not a great expense to buy in the extras needed to make the cake - here is a - link - to the recipe - scroll down past the meatballs. It is a bit fiddly but I enjoyed making it only panicking slightly when I thought I hadn't got a large enough cake tin - but all was well!



The lemon syrup makes it quite sticky in the middle but it is very tasty!

  1. I think this cake is my kind of thing! I did bake a cake today, just a usual jam and buttercream Victoria sponge. So, we're both ok on the cake front for the weekend aren't we?!!!

  2. That looks a good cake, Rosie. I may try it next weekend, I like Hugh F-W's recipes. He ranks along-side Nigel Slater as far as I am concerned. I made a Nigel Slater cake today, a marmaladey tray bake thingy. Will cut and sample it tomorrow. yum yum!
