Lemon curd 2 blocks blue icing 1 block yellow icing Red food colouring Sugar paste letters - eBay Number 7 mould - eBay
Method:
Step 1 - heat oven to 160fan or equivalent Step 2 - beat together butter and sugar then add the eggs Step 3 - gently fold in flour and zest and mix until well combined Step 4 - grease your mould well - no need to line if using a silicone mould Step 5 - bake for 45 minutes until golden brown and skewer comes out clean Step 6 - when cool prick holes and drizzle in the lemon juice
Decoration:
I doubled this recipe - and moulded them together using lemon curd to seal. The icing is so easy to roll dusted with a bit of icing sugar on a board then mould to the cake and decorate as you wish. Pipe along the bottom to seal any gaps or just to add a bit more interest! It takes patience but is not difficult - I loved using the mould - super easy and this cake is the perfect base for taste and gives enough structure to ice! The sense of a achievement is amazing and if I can do it so can you! Enjoy!
