Recipe Description
When it came out of the oven, the kids were asking for it with both hands and ate one each…so I guess it’s a repeat recipe! Made a fluffy lemon cake last week and decided to cater to the young one’s taste buds this round. Cannot really go wrong when you pair one of their favourite jam spreads, nutella chocolate hazelnut goodness and a butter cake. Easy to make, it’s a good tea cake for families with young children.
