Temperatures are soaring, and summer is fast approaching. Or is it here already? I'm sharing a recipe for my favourite lemon cake. It's a five-star recipe. Absolutely foolproof. perfect for even the most amateur of bakers. It's fresh and zingy, and guaranteed to have everyone coming back for seconds (or thirds). Gorgeous with a tall glass of your favourite iced-brew; or by itself as a desert ... with some fresh cream.
