Super easy and delicious. A family favorite! I add a squeeze of lemon juice for extra lemon flavor.

I regularly share this recipe with my Tasmanian colleagues and tell them about how important Edmonds Cookbooks are to New Zealanders.

My favourite Edmonds recipe! So light and tasty, there's never a slice left. I add a couple of tablespoons of lemon honey to the batter and make a lemon honey and cream cheese icing to make it super special.
