    Yum! Absolutely delicious! I had to bake mine for an extra 15 mins on 160 but turned out perfect!

    Im so glad I stumbled across this recipe!🍋
    I halved the sugar and added coconut yogurt and it was absolutely delicious! Wasn't sure how it would turn out as it didn't rise as expected but was so moist and fluffy! Added a lemon cream cheese frosting & Hubby said it's possibly the best cake I've made! Saved into Cookidoo for future reference! Thanks heaps!

    Love this lemony lemon cake. So easy with ingredients I had in my kitchen. I have never had a lemon cake with so much flavour. I didn’t make the icing as my hubby doesn’t like it but it honestly doesn’t need it. If I was taking the cake out or serving it to guests I would make a cream cheese frosting as someone else previously suggested.
    I cooked the cake in a ring tin & it cooked in 35mins at 190 degrees fan forced. (My oven is 5-10 degrees cooler)
    Thank you for this delicious recipe. In the oven again at the moment cooking it for a friend 😃

    Delicious! Followed recipe exactly and have just made this for the second time this week. The most moist and fluffy cake I have made with the thermo so far. Yum!

    karljhamilton: I had the same problem, needed about 45 mins and quite a dense heavy cake, will be lovely with cream and icecream for sweets, next time I will try a different tin too.
