THE LEMON DRIZZLE CAKE I MADE FOR THE QUEEN... AGAIN AND AGAIN!

This delicious double glazed super moist lemon drizzle cake is the only lemon cake recipe you will ever need. The cake stays so amazingly soft and I could bake it on a Friday in the Buckingham Palace kitchens and send it to Windsor Castle for The Queen to enjoy at the weekend. I would add the first glaze and the second would be added at Windsor before going up for royal tea.

My Italian grandmother always had a drizzle cake on hand in case guests stopped by. She made two kinds. Lemon and almond. Tasty and pretty.

Our family loves lemon and so I made this lemon cake as a birthday cake and oh my goodness everybody just thoroughly enjoyed it and said it was definitely the most lemony delicious cake they had ever eaten. I told them it had to be it was served to the queen 😁. Thank you so much for the recipe.❤️

I just made this cake. I can say it’s the BEST lemon cake I ever tasted. So moist and delicious. Thank you for the recipe. 😊

Ah Chef, this one really got to me. My grandmother, who inspired my love of cooking and has been gone these past 15 years, made me lemon cake for years on my birthday. This both broke and warmed my heart. Thank you as always, for sharing 💚
