I recently started reading a book series titled “The Thursday Murder Club” by Richard Osman. Joyce, one of the primary characters, is forever baking for their meetings. Lemon drizzle cake is one of her favorites, and now I understand why.
I’d never heard of lemon drizzle cake, and when I saw the recipe I knew it was destiny.
The batter comes together in under 20 minutes. It’s moist, lemony, and buttery without being too sweet. The crumb is tender yet has a lovely texture, and the bursts of lemon flavor from the drizzle make this cake outstanding. I enjoyed it after my Sunday morning farmstand trip with a tall glass of cold brew.
This recipe is a keeper. Fancy it up for a dinner party, or simply enjoy with a cup of tea. Joyce would be proud!
