Let's talk about lemons

I am in love with lemons.

I have been for quite some time.

They're colour, smell, taste, everything about them makes me smile and be happy.

Years ago in me home economics class we had to make a dish using coagulation....loads of people made mouses, or cremes of some sort, i made a lemon tart. There was no need for a bain marie, the pastry kept everything safe. And so  began my love affair with lemon infused desserts.

Since then I've made several lemony things....some too lemony for my family or friends to eat, I on the other hand loved them.

This week i had a real hankering to make some lemon treats but with it being only myself and Adam knocking about this flat the lemon tart is too much for two people to eat. I've made lemon drizzle cake before, usually in the loaf variety, but it just wasn't ticking my boxes this week.

I had a look around pinterest but all the recipes i liked the look of had American measurements, and while I'm usually up for some conversion, i really wasn't bothered with all that either.

Hello BBC goodfood website. You are a gem. I found this delicious sounding recipe for lemon drizzle cakes, yes that's right...plural!
It was a pretty easy recipe and the results are exactly what i was in the mood for, tangy, refreshing, zesty and sweet all at the same time. Even better is that fact that there's no cutting a slice each time i want one, win win!

P.S. look at this board for some yellow goodness...

I'm off to enjoy some of this spring sunshine, how's you're Thursday coming along?
