I am so glad I have my oven back. I made these yesterday and they are wonderful. Even D, who is not keen on sweet treats or lemon, had two. Next time I might try them with ginger syrup rather than lemon, just for something different…

Hey Charlotte! I made this cake today. It is pretty good and I served it without shame to my mother in law who is a domestic goddess I’m always slightly intimidated about cooking or baking for. But that said…it wasn’t quiiiiiiiiite as fantastic as my gin and lime cake recipe which is similiar in concept- but with gin! Bombay Blue Saphire syrup. Mmm mmm good! Come to New Zealand and I’ll make it for you.

I want to try these tomorrow, but it’s supposed to be 90F, so I’ll wait for a cooler day.

Stupid American questions: Is caster sugar what the US calls granulated sugar? I assume 180 is C and not F?

I’m a little stumped what I would call them: cupcakes to me are always frosted, while muffins need to have tops that rise over the cup part. Whatever, they look yummy!

Charlotte, this is torture! I have no oven for the time being, I can’t even try to make these delicious cakes… I immediately start a list of dishes I have to try once I’ll have my kitchen ready

Yum - and they contain the recommended daily intake of Vitamin C and will prevent scurvy - so it is essential that I eat a few of these every day!
