Hi Vanessa, I have recently stumbled upon your blog, nice to find another Brizzy blogger! I just used this recipe to make a four layer birthday cake for my Mum, and I can vouch that it was delicious & moist! Thanks for the recipe :)
Hi Vanessa,
I am about to try this cake, but what sort of icing would you put on top
Hi Glenda, how did you go with it?!? I usually just do a lemon icing - 1.5 cups icing sugar mixed with some lemon juice - easy and yum!
I made a double batch of this the other day as muffins. It was a hit! My husband said, "yum! You can make those again!" And I love recipes that are super easy and don't make too much washing up; perfect for time-poor mamas. This is going to be a staple in our house from now on!
I used lime zest as I didn't have lemons, by the way. Really good.
This cake is sooooo good - I substituted coconut cream for the milk for extra flavour and because the b'day boy is lactose intolerant. Will def make this one again!!!
