Timing was perfect, as I was craving a simple cake and had some lemon curd that needed using! Your mum's cake was absolutely delicious - even on the second and third days! Frankly, I'm surprised it lasted that long! <br />Thank you for sharing such lovely memories of your mother. She must have been a very special lady. Next time I make the cake I'll be thinking of her as well as my own mother...and you, too, of course!<br />Thank you again,<br />Deb AdamsDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13349915423052576417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-76014560785418890982019-03-27T08:22:23.445+00:002019-03-27T08:22:23.445+00:00Its a very simple small cake Jeanie.

So, your post today resonates strongly with me. The cake looks so good! Do you wait until the cake completely cools before splitting in for the lemon curd?<br />Marylittlemancathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17042609230502564280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-63401036040479589582019-03-23T12:50:28.991+00:002019-03-23T12:50:28.991+00:00Thanks Monique.
