These dainty small lemon drizzle cakes are delicious and can be done within minutes. They are a real winner what more with infused lemon syrup. The cake is not very dense but moist, tangy and fragrant. These lemon drizzle cakes taste yummy on the day it’s baked and even better the next day. Just store them in an airtight container at room temperature. You can bake this in cupcake liners, silicon mould or even in a small loaf pan, just whichever you prefer. Definitely a tasty keeper recipe for sure!
So yummy that I baked these cakes again the next day for my friends to try.
实在太好吃！所以第二天再烤同样的蛋糕送给朋友品尝。
