ReplyDeletethat is one super impressive cake! My hubby immediately assumes his mum has been around if there is any baked goodness in our place, which is certainly not always the case..I need to lift my game!
ReplyDeleteHow divine!
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of this one. And I just happen to have a whole bag of lemons I was given as a farewell gift. I wonder if I am brave enough to bake in the caravan yet??
Hope you are well and happy gorgeous girl. xx
Oh my goodness, that may be the prettiest cake and tin I ever did see!
ReplyDeleteI hope the Mr was very happy with his sweet after dinner treat..... I'm off to search the pantry now.
Cathie, i sort of thought you meant man because i know my husband is always nibbling chocolate ha ha xxx and anyway men are men regardless of their age dont you think x A
ReplyDeleteas a lover all all things yellow and citrus, this cake is the bomb! yum yum yum and i love that not only do you just make cake - but syrup! oh, my oh my, no wonder your loved ones, well, loved it! I just used up a huge stash of lemons making lemon butter.....mmmmmmm lemon xx
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to try a lemon syrup cake, yours looks gorgeous in the beautiful tin. I love having something sweet on hand, hubby doesn't mind heading for the chocolate but I prefer a biscuit or piece of cake myself. If I haven't done any baking, I'll resort to a square or two of dark chocolate... tonight it's chocolate brownies :)
ReplyDeleteUm yum! I particularly love the mountains that your tin gives the cake! When can I come over for my slice?
ReplyDeleteYum just like my mum makes minus the beautiful cathedral tin. Too bad I cant eat it anymore now that I am gluten free :(
ReplyDeleteYum...And I can totally relate lol...If I walk into the kitchen at night he immediately asks me what I am going to bake him..
ReplyDeleteOh yum. Lemons are def. my weakness x
ReplyDeleteWe are about to lose our stunning lemon tree due to home renovations, I will have to strip it and make your recipe to celebrate it's bountiful life!
ReplyDeleteLooks impressive. Love the tin design. enjoy the rest of your week, dee x
ReplyDeleteI usually have a cup of tea and a couple of pink wafer biscuits when my sweet cravings kick in. Last week though I made orange and poppy seed cake which was amazing. Corey at a quarter of it within 15mins of it being out of the oven.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds perfect and it looks perfect too ;) I usually make a very simple batch of chocolate chip and orange cookies. In fact, I may need to do that right now!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous shape Cathie!My friend gave us some lemons the other day too :) I made a "gateau aux yoghourts with lemon"one of my childhood memories came back :)Hard to resist that sweet craving after visiting your blog :)
ReplyDeletePS: Thanks for sharing the recipe.
