Easy Peasy Lemon Cake
This is one of those throw it all in the mixer and she’ll be right mate kinda cakes!
You do have to follow the ingredient list as there is a method to the madness in how this all works out and it comes out mixed and ready for your cake tin!
I have used this recipe many times and added lemon or lime curd as a filling, frosted with meringue frosting and torched, or just the basic lemon – icing sugar frosting, as a Sole yacht chef at times you are really up against the clock to get things made and out on tight time frames so these easy quick cakes are my go to during those times.
This cake also works well as cupcakes or mini loaves, I have also baked it in a thin layer and used pieces as a base to build desserts on. It really is such a versatile cake.
