Time for Cake. . .

It's raspberry season and this week has seen the return of the Great British Bake-off (my favourite telly show!) And it was cake week. The Guardian was right on trend last Saturday and published this yummy raspberry and lemon yoghurt tea loaf (I baked it in a round cake tin instead). It  is now my go-to summer cake, especially when guests are coming.  It's so delicious and moist and very easy to bake.   You can find the recipe here (scroll down to the third one).  I think it would work just as well with blueberries or the blackberries that will soon be ripe on the bush in my backyard.

I Love, Love, Love Lemon. . . (and Lime). . .

I've finally got around to trying the recipe on the cover of the September 2012 issue of Delicious magazine (which is why I bought it).   So this is what Rick Stein's version looks like. 

And here's mine:

I still have to work on my pastry; I find it really hard to roll it out thinly enough.  However the filling was absolutely delicious with just the perfect balance between tart and sweet, (it contains the juice of three lemons and one lime) and it was very simple to make.  This has become my new favourite lemony dessert.
