Lemon drizzle cake was voted Ocado customers’ favourite cake in a recent social poll and it’s easy to see why. Fluffy, light sponge flavoured with tangy lemon syrup is just about as good as it gets. Plus, we don’t know about you, but we’ve always got a couple of leftover lemons hanging around the fruit bowl – help them reach their full cakey potential today.
