I just wanted to say that I make this cake al the time and everyone likes it, people have never mentioned the absence of the white crunchy top, love the fluffy consistency of the cake and the tanginess. NB: I think a white crunchy top comes when you use icing sugar rather than castor sugar. I hope you still bake it sometimes, I baked one tonight to use up some lemons. <br />NellieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762471897826601442.post-48437444840297345032012-07-13T14:48:31.511-07:002012-07-13T14:48:31.511-07:00the same thing happened to me when I made this cak...the same thing happened to me when I made this cake. The topping wasn't crunchy at all. Maybe we need to increase the sugar? Anyway, it still looks delicious :-)Nickkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18314379706604444036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762471897826601442.post-17689377923053732512012-07-11T14:27:07.627-07:002012-07-11T14:27:07.627-07:00Hi Michele, glad you came and visited!

I am sure it'll work out better the next time. - Mich@www.pieceofcake.sgAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10073001730090902797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762471897826601442.post-79983571084809257102012-07-09T13:39:39.711-07:002012-07-09T13:39:39.711-07:00Yes it was definitely baked all the way through......Yes it was definitely baked all the way through... I've had a couple of people say use more sugar in the lemon juice glaze... Someone said to try boiling up the glaze a little before pouring? I will have to try this one again and see what happens!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14080979775829845076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762471897826601442.post-55576191884288083222012-07-08T22:36:52.028-07:002012-07-08T22:36:52.028-07:00oh its such a tricky one the science of cake bakin...oh its such a tricky one the science of cake baking... it may be as simple as your cake not being fully baked through when you poured over the syrup. Did you check it was baked thru? Maybe make one again and let it cool a bit more before you pour over the drizzle? Looks pretty anyhow!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431297921869969693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762471897826601442.post-60097244616286228342012-07-08T11:52:43.127-07:002012-07-08T11:52:43.127-07:00The "crust" that you get on a drizzle ca...The "crust" that you get on a drizzle cake comes later when the drizzle and cake has cooled down, clearly, this didn't happen as we have been tweeting about soggy tops and fluffy bottoms! So, I think there was NOT enough sugar to lemon juice ratio....BUT, this is STILL a great entry for the cake stall and Tea Time Treats! THANKS!
