Sweet & Simple Bakes - St Clement's Drizzle Cake

After last month's disaster I was a bit wary of getting back in the kitchen again but apparently you have to get back in the saddle after you fall off so I had no choice but to get my behind back in to the kitchen again.
Someone in the office is about to go off to have an operation so that was all the excuse I needed to bake this delight and bring it in for everyone to share.
And I was in luck because everyone liked citrus flavoured cakes and absolutely loved this cake.

It was just the right amount of citrus flavour and had a lovely golden colour from the orange and lemon zest.

All in all - a success!! Unfortunately I only had time for a couple of hurried photos before it all disappeared - but I guess that's never a bad thing.

The recipe can be found here.

A big thank you to Rosie & Maria who have been a little quiet on the blog front lately - hope you're both well and know that all of us appreciate the effort you guys go to to provide us with a new challenge each month!

Looks delicious - I need to get baking again. So comforting once you have a nice slice of cake that you know you made on the plate! xxx

I will have to bake this again in a loaf tin next round. At least then I can see the softness like as in yours.

The cuppies were packed to school the next time by the kids. After all it was their effort in decorating them.

Great job.
