Delicious Lemon Cake

Hello Jan

Gosh I have discovered so many things I never knew before about honey and honey bees on your website.

I bake cakes a lot for my family and thought you might like to share my recipe for making a honey and lemon cake. This recipe is so easy and a definite favourite so I hope your family and readers will enjoy it too.

I find it easier and quicker to use a cup for my ingredients and so long as you use the same size cup for everything you can’t go wrong.

2 cups of good white flour

1 cup of a citrus flavoured honey

Half a cup of butter

Quarter of a cup of condensed milk

Three quarters of a teaspoon of baking soda

2 medium eggs

2 tablespoons of fresh squeezed lemon juice and the finely grated zest of 1 to 2 lemons

Put all the ingredients into a bowl and mix with an electric blender or put everything into an electric food mixer until mixed together then pour into a greased deep round or loaf shaped baking tin.

Cook in the oven at 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C for about three quarters of an hour.

Remove from tin when slightly cooled by turning onto a cake wire cooling tray. When cold place it on a plate and cut yourself a slice (or 2)

I have a vision of you sitting in your garden on a sunny day watching your bees happily buzzing about their business whilst you go about yours of eating your lovely lemon cake.

Please send in another any time.
