Don't you love how old recipes are so light on instructions?! I guess everyone could cook then! I cooked it for about 20 mins in a 180 deg C oven.

You're welcome! enjoy :)
Hi Kerrie,
Just wanted to let you know I made the lemon cake yesterday and it turned out great (though I did add an extra egg). Yummy too. Next time I'm going to try with an orange.
Thanks again,
Libby
Thanks for this recipe Kerrie. I made the lemon one yesterday and I also made one using mandarin, both were awesome.
I added extra water but the egg would make it rise more. The last one I made used a large lemon and was quite lemony - mmmm!
Mandarin sounds good Kebeni - will have to try that one!
