Summary: Who doesn’t love a cake that makes almost no mess, is super quick and easy and tastes amazeballs? Yeah, that’s what I thought. Cream cheese icing is definitely what this needs but I wouldn’t blame you for buying the premade Philadelphia cream cheese with a touch of lemon icing and just slathering that right on! In fact that’s what I did because Mr Ask doesn’t like cream cheese icing and I left the cake bare and just iced the bits Mummy Ask & I ate. I know it’s cheating but there’s no shame in it now and then. This is a big-ish cake, I used my 21cm/8″ round tin but mine has quite high (7cm) sides. This cake also doesn’t rise much, so as long as the batter fits in with a cm or two to spare, you’ll be fine.
