The effort to taste ratio with drizzle cakes is extremely good – little effort but loads of taste.
And this Blueberry Lemon Drizzle Cake is no exception. The recipe makes for a super simple, no-fuss cake (or some may say bread), with lots and lots of flavor thanks largely to the lemon syrup that’s poured over the still warm cake. Then there’s the lemon icing for extra kick.
This is a very versatile recipe – if you don’t have fresh blueberries, use frozen – or substitute for whatever berries you may have. Alternatively, leave the berries out all together for a plain lemon drizzle cake. The recipe also makes a helpful suggestion on how to turn this into a Lemon Poppy Seed Drizzle Cake. Easy. Easy. Easy.
