    It’s no secret to regular readers that I’m a huge fan of recipes which are both simple and take little time to put together. These two elements are especially important to me as I undoubtedly always have one or two little people under my feet (or climbing onto the bench) anytime I am cooking or baking. While I really enjoy my boys getting involved in the kitchen, when I’m trying to quickly make something before guests arrive – this can be a problem.  This Lemon and Butter Cake recipe is a winner in these instances.  It ticks all the right boxes – it’s quick and easy to prepare (either conventionally or in the Thermomix) and is can be ready to go in the oven before the boys even notice.

    Lemon Butter Cake I LOVE the texture of this cake, it has exactly the right mix of lemon and buttery goodness and best of all I can freeze any leftovers after our guests leave so we can enjoy it again another time.  Are you hungry yet? Well here’s how to make it:

      Followed the recipe to a T and it turned out hard as rock with some pockets of uncooked dough 🙁 I think mixing all the ingredients at speed 6 for 1 minute was over mixing it too much 🙁

        I’m sorry your cake didn’t turn out Marilyn, we only just made this last week and it turned out well. Sometimes oven temperatures can vary, maybe this had an impact. Sorry again, I hope you have a good day x

      I love a good lemony cake, the only problem is that I can’t help myself and usually eat the whole thing in a couple of days!
