to gray wellies:
Luckily we had a zingy lemon cake to perk things up! Our Seed Store Cafe traybake-of-the-week was Mary Berry's Iced Lemon Traybake:
The recipe was nearly the same as that for my favorite Lemon Drizzle Traybake, just substituting a lemon glacé icing for the crunchy drizzle topping. Super-light and lemony with a terrifically tart top and (after the debacle last week) no sinkage! The perfect way to get over a gray day.
new wellies?
ReplyDeleteAll the grey is getting rather dreary! That cake does look yummy though, and I like the boots!
ReplyDeleteRight, I am buying that book! I adore lemon cake in any shape or size!
ReplyDeleteWe ventured up to ours yesterday - and there were some new allotmenteers up there, hurrah! Perhaps I'll have an excuse to make gardening cakes soon ...
ReplyDeleteWe did some harvesting - chard & kale - and I tried a bit of weeding but even thought the soil was soft and lovely it was still freeeezing!
Lemon cake sounds just the thing for getting over gray!
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of your allotments - gardening is so much more fun with friends and cake! :)
ReplyDeleteI would like to stand up and say that the napkin, with its cheery polka dots, is quite delightful as well! D x
ReplyDeleteThe icing on the cake reminds me of the snow that covered the allotments only a few weeks ago. From white to grey to...well I wonder what colour will come next?
ReplyDeleteYummy! Our gray has been replaced this morning by white - yep, it's snowing again!
ReplyDeleteLooks first class!
ReplyDeleteJust what you needed for a gray day. Your cake looks delicious.
