Are you considering baking a cake for Mother’s day? my husband is away ski-ing (I know, alright for some!) so it looks as though I’ll be baking my own….and it’s going to be this one.
SO delicious – really, sometimes this job is absolutely no good for my waistline. Ahem. But then no-one forced me to consume 3 extra large slices.

I think you’ve missed out the flour in the recipe…! Looks yummy though 🙂 x
Ah, sorry I just realised you mean in the actual recipe step by step! That would be pretty crucial! Its when you add the lemon, baking powder etc but will get that added in now. Thanks x
Hi Claire. The flour is second ingredient, 190g gluten free flour. You can use normal plain flour if you prefer and aren’t doing the whole gluten free thing. It is extremely yummy so can highly recommend it! Lottie xx
This sounds yummy. Can you tell me how to do the drizzle part please? Thanks, I may make this over the weekend.
Hi Louise. If you want to add the drizzle I just squeeze half a lemon and then add a few tea spoons of caster sugar to the juice till it is a medium thickness (all depends on the size of the lemon!). Then simply poke a few holes in the loaf with a knife or skewer and drizzle the sugar and lemon mixture over. Happy baking xx
I’m confused too. In step 4 it says “sift in the lemon” and later “poppy seeds and lemon zest”. I only find the lemon zest in the ingredients list though what other lemon or how much is needed before then?
Sorry Anja, that is my typo. The first lemon should say flour! I like to confuse you! x
Thanks for clarifying! Am looking forward to trying this recipe!
I made this for my Mum for Mother’s Day and it was truly delish. I might have had a sneaky slice for breakfast this morning too (it was grey and rainy outisde – that’s allowed right!?)
Yay, so glad it was a success Polly! Plus cake for breakfast is definitely allowed on a grey Monday x
