I was attracted to this Madeira Cake (Nigella Lawson) for Bake Along event, when Zoe baked a very small cake with only 1 egg. I quickly went into my storeroom to dig into my boxes to look for smallest loaf tin that I could find. I was so pleased to be rewarded with this yellow cake full of lemon flavour for our afternoon tea. I love the light and soft texture of this cake especially the crispy sugary top. Just can’t help treating myself to another slice of this yummy cake!
