Uganda baking - Aunty Betty's (who is she!!) Lemon Cake

Another of the recipes sent by John's mum. I tried making this for John's birthday as lemon is one of his favourite flavours. I got it in the oven an hour before neighbours were due for celebrations but then read about cooling it after the 55min baking time - whoops! So I popped some muffins in the oven too and we had those. Then John said he liked hot cake so we tried the lemon and it went down very well!

    Made this in New Zealand this week. It was nice to make sure I hadn't forgotten how to. Though I had no idea what temperature and time to do and it very quickly browned on the top - I think I spotted just in time to save it before it charred and covered it with foil and it then cooked fine!

    Made last night for school inset today. First baking back in our flat. Cooked the full 55mins at 160 degC; looked a little on the dry side but ok. Made in square tin and cut into small squares and put a sign saying 'lemon drizzle morsels'. Hadn't bought icing sugar so tried with caster.
