Hi Everyone,
A little made up recipe to take away the cold Winter blues and put a smile on my family’s face as they sit there munching on this sweet delight whilst drinking piping hot cups of delicious foaming coffee.
Choosing lemon because of it’s additional Vitamin C properties – another good reason to be eating this yummy slice now.

yummy cake I want a slice of that delicious cake
I think I’ll have to try this! The combination of lemon and chocolate is one I haven’t tried, but sounds wonderful. It would be really good if you could put recipes into a format that can be printed off….or am I being hopelessly old-fashioned? 🙂
Hmmm – not old fashioned at all. Was thinking of making a little Christmas gift to friends with a printed recipe book or maybe publishing a recipe book – but need to get a few more recipes out there first. If you have any other idea let me know!
