A batch of Cornish pasties, some oat and raisin cookies, and either a lemon drizzle or a stem ginger cake. Any preference on the cake?

Oh Lemon Drizzle sounds gorge, ummmmm

Lemon drizzle deffo, 
I made a jam and buttercream sponge at the weekend, but we've scoffed it all. Sorry.
There are some home-made cookies left in the cookie jar, though..

Has no one done the *bun in the oven* gag yet
She's been to Greggs. Pull the other one. 
Oh Queen of the High Teas, when you said you were going to do some baking I had a flashback to staying with my aunt Mary when I was a girl and we used to make rock buns.
Not all of the mixture ended up going in the oven of course because every time her back was turned I had to try the mixture to see if it was still as delicious.
Mmmm, now I think I'm going to have to make some of them tonight. Extra sugar on top (of course) so you get that lovely crunchy texture.
As for a cake, I'm rather partial to one with a butter icing layer (either in the middle, or in the middle and on top). Yummy x

I think you'd eat chocolate if you tried them fresh out the oven
. You can even buy the ready to bake ones and just add a splash of nutella in the middle. They're well nice. 
<-licking lips
I dont care if it is from Gregg's, I'll have the lemon secs cake too please 
Hmm, most in favour of the lemon I see. I am sensing a wee bit of gingerism on this forum today. 
Make both, and I can take all the ginger one if no one else wants it!!

Lemon Sponge
225g softened unsalted butter
225g caster sugar
4 eggs
grated zest of 2 lemons
225g self-raising flour
Lemon Drizzle Icing -
juice 1 and a half lemons
85g caster sugar
Pre-heat oven to 180. Line a standard loaf tin. Beat the butter and sugar until pale and creamy, add the eggs. Sift in the flour, then the lemon zest. Spoon into tin and level off. Bake for 45-50 mins. Mix the lemon juice and sugar. Prick the warm cake all over, then pour over the drizzle - the juice will sink in but the sugar will form a crisp topping. Leave in the tin until completely cool.
Thank youquote:Originally posted by Queen of the High Teas:quote:Originally posted by longcat:
