Dulce de leche cake

Another post, another lemon cake. This is one I haven't made in years, but one that was well worth remembering because it's tasty. I had a jar of dulce de leche in the cupboard that I needed to use before it's best before date, so I googled to find this half remembered recipe. 

It's a slightly unusual cake. You hear butter, water, lemon juice and golden syrup together and then add lemon zest. You let this cool and then add it to flour and sugar with an egg and mix together and pour into the tin. Finally you heat some dulce de leche until it loosens and then pour it over the cake in thin stripes. 

The resulting cake is lovely and light and nice with Greek yoghurt, although I've never tried it with the apricots and dulce de leche laced yoghurt.

Drenched Lemon and Ginger Cake

I have a small repertoire of great lemon cakes: the lemon curd cake I've written about before, Nigella's lemon and almond cake, Baker & Spice's lemon sponge with lemon icing. All nice, all different. Then there's this lemon and ginger cake which is a lovely twist on a lemon drizzle cake.

It is a recipe by Tamasin Day Lewis. There's a cake with light muscavado sugar, lemon zest and chopped stem ginger. Then you make a syrup from ginger syrup, Demerara sugar and lemon juice. You put holes over the cake and slowly pour over the syrup and let it soak in. This particular cake is lovely, but sensational warm - do try it. I like it with Creme

Fraiche.  Admittedly it isn't a good looking cake, but it tastes amazing.
