Lemon and elderflower drizzle cake from Cook, Eat, Repeat: Ingredients, Recipes and Stories (page 75) by Nigella Lawson

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Excellent moist and delicious. Needed longer in the oven though - more like 35-40 mins

    Yummy. Made for guests, who loved how light it was, and the elderflower cordial in the drizzle. A keeper recipe!

    Light, fresh and tender crumb cake. After reading the previous note I used the processor and it turned out perfectly. Will absolutely make again. We also made the cocktail from the head notes for a nightcap

    First, I will say this is a lovely cake. We loved the flavor and texture. It did take longer than the recipe stated (at least ten additional minutes). In addition, it seemed like the ingredients weren't mixed enough and there was a different texture for part of the cake. It all ended up fine once the cake was completely cooked but I made this in a mixer and think using a processor, as recommended in the recipe, would have worked a bit better. I do think we will be making this again.
