This soft and moist cake is a quick and easy dessert recipe, perfect for summer. This cake is soft and creamy, with refreshing lemon flavour. It’s melt-in-your-mouth good!
If you like light and creamy desserts then this recipe is a must have for you to try. In my opinion, this cake is best served chilled. I recommend refrigerating for a few hours.

The custard with a light taste of lemon makes this cake suitable during summer.
I don’t see any lemon juice on the recipe. Is this missing? How do you get a lemon flavour with just some lemon peel?
Hi Jan. Thanks for your comment and questions. I only added the zest of one lemon to give it a light lemon flavour as the custard steals the show in this cake. It’s a personal preference.
You can add the juice along with the zest of one lemon if you’d like to create a strong lemon flavoured cake.
Hope this helps and thanks for your interest in the cake.

Custard filling… that’s brilliant! I’ve had lemon cake but not like this! Looking forward to trying this recipe!
