      Fantastic light and delicious lemon cake. It's been a hit with everyone every time! I've made it multiple times and it has always turned out well.
      I've cut the sugar back to 180g as we prefer a less sweet cake (the icing adds a lovely lemony sweetness). Thanks for a great recipe.

      My sugar and butter didn’t cream very well- think it might take longer than 30 seconds, so cake a bit dense but still yummy!

      Delicious and moist, was a huge hit including with the kids! I blitzed the lemon rind first and left it in while adding butter etc. and it came out fine.

      150° is not at all correct. It's been almost 2 hours and it's not cooled all the way through. Is this a typo??

        Hi Chani, I'm sorry that this didn't work as per the recipe baking time for you 🙁

        Most recipes are written for fan-forced ovens, so 150° sounds correct for a loaf that bakes for almost an hour. If you're using a conventional oven, the temperature will need to be increased by 10-20° to compensate. Despite these adjustments, all ovens do vary and some will take longer than others, even if the temperature is set to what's stated in the recipe.

        Did you bake it in a different tin (ie not a large loaf tin?) or make any other changes?
