Super Easy, and everyone loved it - was really light and tasty. Made it early to take, left it in tin, then heated it again for 10 minutes before serving, let cool for 5 and then served - very easy and scrum., approved=true, user_name=Helen, hs_createdate=1702249861982, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175634605}, {comment_text=it was justamazing!when the moist lemony flavour touched your trembling lips you were led to paradise!, approved=true, user_name=Freddy conrad, hs_createdate=1702249861963, rating_new__1_5_=4, id=11175383369}, {comment_text=Wonderful cake, so moist even after two days. I did increase the flour by 1/2 cup as recommended by other reviews and decreased the baking powder to 1 1/2tsp as I was a bit nervous of a strong baking powder taste from using 3tsp. It was very fluffy, but it did sink slightly in the middle, so next time I make it I will try with 3tsp. I also halved the syrup amount as I only had one large lemon instead of two. Delicious alone or as a warm or cold pudding served with yogurt, cream, or ice cream. I would recommend a plate and spoon as it can fall apart easily at times, approved=true, hs_createdate=1702249861950, rating_new__1_5_=4, id=11175342894}, {comment_text=Delicious and moist. But I didn't do the syrup I iced it instead I used 1 and 1/2 cups icing sugar rind off 1 lemon 1 teaspoon butter and enough boiling water to make it a smooth consistency! Huge hit!! Will make again definitely., approved=true, user_name=Danni, hs_createdate=1702249861942, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175581850}]}
