Lemony Goodness

Reading the blog of someone who is a lemon addict can be rather boring sometimes because you know that once not in a blue moon and very often, she will post lemony stuff. This post is about lemony stuff yet again and I am not apologizing. Haha. I know this is a bit overdue because I have been talking about giving out lemon-syrup loaf cake slices to my friends in school on my twitter and there are noooo pictures of it. I just uploaded a couple of them on my facebook but this is the proper post on how yums this is.








I mean would you just look at that?! I must have flipped through Nigella's How To Be A Domestic Goddess a million times ever since I got it for my birthday last year but this is the "christening" bake. What better way to "christen" a recipe book by making some lemony goodness? This Lemon-syrup Loaf Cake may seem like just an "ordinary pound cake" and I think it would probably be without the immersion of the syrup. I found the cake itself did not have that an intense lemon flavour but paired with the syrup, ohmylemon! It IS good. Thus, it is no surprise that i love the top part of the cake more than the bottom. The next time I make this, besides letting the cake absorb the syrup through the holes poked by a skewer, I am going to double the syrup and dip my slice of cake in it to be lemon-fied (satisfied lemon-ly).

Oh. Did I mention that Nigella writes one of the loveliest recipe books I have ever come across? It is like reading the thoughts in her head while she makes the yummy things in her book or like watching her on TV in text. I will definitely be baking more from this book!

What did I do with the leftover lemon juice from making the cake? I made this:

Lemonade Ice Pops!



Grapefruit Ice Pops! (Not really lemony but still citrus-y eh?)

Perfect.
