lemony, zesty and had that perfect balance of sharp and sweet that I adore. this week The Viking and I decided to take an after work stroll along the South Bank
However I had no suitable fruit in the house the following day but I did have lemonsand eggs so that’s how my Easy Lemon & Elderflower Curd came to be after adapting my Granny’s Quick Lemon Curd recipe
These Lemon & Elderflower Curd Cupcakes didn’t last long in our house and I can see them going on our regular bake list as they are so quick and easy to make
Andrew's three cakes were cherry & almond, strawberry & vanilla andlemon & elderflower. Tom used floral teas as her flavour inspiration and his three cakes were flavoured with camomile, jasmine, green andelderflower teas
Still - locally grown gooseberries were still a huge treat and perfect to go with the elderflower (pictured above) which was growing just inside my field gate
I actually find it much smoother than regular lemon curd, and it’s much less rich, so it’s easier to eat as a central part of a pudding – perfect when you’re trying to be good
Also, the flavour will be better when cold, so you can refrigerate it to get it cold before you add the curd When the cake is cold, cut it in half andsandwich it together with the Lemon Curd, then spread the topping all over the top and sides of cake
This Lemon Cake is so light, lemony flavor and wonderful texture. Put caster sugar and softened butter together in a large bowl and beat them till the mixture is very light and fluffy
Take them out, remove from the tin and leave to coolTo make the chocolate fudge frosting heat the condensed milk with the double cream in a pan on a medium heat until it bubbles
The great thing about this Luscious Lemon Drizzle Cake Recipe is how easy it is to make and how little ingredients you need, all you will need is butter, sugar, flour, eggs andlemon
To make the lemon curd, I’ve always used this method my mum taught me, which seems pretty much identical to the one you’ll find on both Nigel Slater’s website, and BBC Good Food, so it must be good
