4.02 pm on the school clock means joy for the children.
4.02 pm on the home clock means icing a lemon cake. (Recipe in The Gentle Art of Domesticity.)
[photo taken a week ago]
By 5.02 pm both school and cake will be a distant memory.
And a 4.02pm I was icing a banana cake with butterscotch cream cheese icing. That too is now a distant memory.

I love that lemon cake. Ours goes just as quickly when I make it!

You are clever to get your cake to match the bricks! I must get my camera out - I realise my blog has no photos on it at all. Do you always have yours with you?

It has been a long time since I made a lemon drizzle cake and then last night Nigella baked the very thing. Then today your good self! This is more than a coincidence. It can only mean one thing. Tomorrow a lemon drizzle cake has to be baked!

First photo looks delicious (love lemon drizzle), and the second photo is just beautiful.

Hmm, that school clock brings back memories. (Scarily, that actual school clock, but over 20 years ago - on the other hand lot's of schools look quite similar, maybe it isn't the same one).

Your icing looks so lovely and thick! I must be doing something wrong when I make it - we love that recipe, but my icing looks more like a glaze every time I do it.

Your lemon cake is my all time favorite! I call it 'comfort food' on those days when I'm feeling the need for a little pick me up. And on a side note, Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday to you, Jane!!! I'll bet there is a 'special' cake baking in your kitchen today. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mmm! That cake looks so delicious! I'm always in the mood for something lemony & sweet! Today my goal is to make cheesecake! I think that will hit the spot... and if I start early, I'll have enough time during the day to chill it. Yes!
