Lemon and almond cake from a recipe shared by a colleague over 50 years ago. Easy, looks good and tastes even better. I really must stir myself and make one.

Christmas cake or Simnel cake.
I like what they represent and I like marzipan.

I have two favourites. The first is a chocolate cake with chocolate icing from the Bero book. The second is lemon drizzle cake. I use Mary Berry's recipe.

My favourite is coffee and walnut , I’ve never made one though as I’m not very good, hoping to improve. The GC came the other day with a big hint from my son that grandma can bake a lovely lemon drizzle cake, it’s his favourite. So guess what we’re baking today. Hope it turns out okay .

When I retired I had never baked in my life but it has become a favourite hobby and I try to bake a different cake each week, learning from my mistakes. My favourite cake is definitely a Victoria sponge. What is yours and do you have any baking anecdotes?
