This takes the cake! Lemon Drizzle Cake!

Take a bite into this Lemon Drizzle cake, and you'll be taken to another place. A place so wonderful that your body goes into autopilot, and 10 seconds later you come back to reality and realize that you've just taken so many bites that half of the cake is gone. And you didn't take any pictures. In fact, you only took five. Oops!



My dear friends, this is what happened to me. I don't remember the last time I went crazy over any dessert! I have eaten lemon cake many times, but never have I eaten one as delicious as this. I love this cake!!

This is quick to make and perfect for transport to the family egg hunt or to a picnic. It is excellent the next day as the drizzle keeps it very moist. I devoured the little bit we had left over the next day, each time passing by the kitchen nipping off a little bite and promising it is the last one..... I can't wait to make this again!
