Recipe: Lemon and Lime Cake

With a friend calling in for tea, cake & a good natter the other day, I threw together a quick cake before she arrived. Lemon cake is one of my favourites – quick and easy, and always delicious. I had a lime that needed using up, so figured I’d go off the path just a little… it was a good decision, as this was even more delicious than a plain lemon cake!

100g/4oz butter

3| Stir in the grated lemon and lime zest and the juice

4| Fold in the flour in lightly until it’s just combined

5| Pour the mix into a greased cake tin, and bake for around 25 minutes.

You could mix a little lemon/lime juice with icing sugar to make a glaze if you’re feeling really naughty!
