Today I really needed cake. I was exhausted, both physically and psychologically, and desperately in need of comfort food. But I couldn’t be bothered to look up a recipe, so i just mixed a few things and made up a really simple lemon cake. Of course I then called my neighbours to come and eat (and take home) a few slices, or I’d end up eating it all by myself - you’ve got to share the extra pounds!

It did come out quite nicely, so here’s the recipe:

4 large eggs
300g sugar
200g flour
1 tsp baking powder
150ml cream
1 lemon (juice and peel)

Just mix it all up in a bowl, bake it in a well greased and floured pan, at 220º until it’s golden outside, and a toothpick comes out clean.
 Enjoy!
