I love finding new recipes to make, sometimes twists on old recipes too. This is one of my favourite bakes and I love lemon drizzle cake. I baked it to eat with a cup of tea and watch the Great British Bake Off. It is very yummy so you really need to try it. It is my first recipe video too, so if you want to watch and bake as you go then let me know how you get on.
