We went over to the parents-in-law for Sunday lunch to celebrate the Husband's birthday belatedly with the McNab family including the children. The ugly cake made its regular appearance and was happily eaten by the family. I had planned to bake this fruity drizzle cake for the office so decided to bring a few pieces along for the family lunch. My brother-in-law happened to be quite fond of limes so had 2 pieces of this cake which he seemed to enjoy.
I had put off baking this cake as it called for 6 limes that required much zesting and juicing for the cake and the drizzle syrup. It helped that raspberries and blueberries are currently on sale so it seemed quite a shame not to bake this when the fruits are in season. Baking this cake did take longer than I expected as the limes did take some time to zest and juice and to cream the golden caster sugar, butter and eggs mixture together before folding in the flour, lime zest, juice and berries. To enjoy this bake, it definitely helps if you like limes as the cake is further drenched in lime syrup after coming out of the oven.
Comments from a taster: Should never have tried the lime drizzle, couldn’t stop myself from eating the whole piece. Very tasty and moist and I loved the combination of the fruit. :)
