I know I've said it before, and I'm gonna say it again...I LOVE LEMON! After Tommy was born, I had lots of lovely women from church make dinner for us. After our week of meals were over, my brilliant Visiting Teacher, Edna then surprised us with another FULL WEEK of home-cooked meals! She is such a champion, it was so nice to be spoiled. Edna didn't know of my lemon infatuation and on the last night she cooked for us she turned up with this sensational cake. I couldn't get enough of it (and even managed to eat 3/4 of it in 2 days - seriously. It was BAD!) It has definitely made it to the top of my favourite lemon treats.
(A few things to note before making...the cake mixture will be really thick, almost like a wet cookie dough. I used my fingers to spread it over the base of the tin...the lemon curd will be quite runny, thats okay - it will seep into the cake mixture when cooking...you will probably want to double it - and cook in 2 separate tins - because it is so delicious you will be wanting more!!)

Thanks for blogging this yummy recipe. I had a go at it this afternoon and it turned out great. My eldest son and i decided we had to give it a taste test and ...... oops, a quarter is already gone!
Made it this morning - will add it to my favorites list. A easy and great afternoon or morning tea - but I would add a scoop of ice cream on the side. Thanks so much - look forward to any other suggestions. Naomi

purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon fine salt. The leavening power of the baking powder is mixed evenly throughout the flour, so you will automatically get that nice rise out of your baked goods every time you use self rising flour.
