One of my favourite flavours for a dessert (or anything sweet really) is lemon, and I really love it in this cake as it makes it so moist. I think lemon & raisin go really well together and of course having raisins in a cake makes it healthy, right?… Ingredients (serves 6-8) 150g butter 150g caster sugar 150g self raising flour (plus a little extra) 3 eggs juice of 2 lemons zest of 1 lemon 200g raisins Method Preheat oven to gas 5 / 375F / 190C, and grease & line the bottom of loaf tin.

Recipe – Bubblegum Angel Delight cheesecake #AngelDelightMoments
Angel Delight. Such a great memory from childhood. Simple, but great. I think it must have been a staple dessert for many a child since it first appeared in 1967. It’s quick, easy, bubbly, and tasty – so what’s not to love about it?! Never mind enjoying it during childhood – there has been more than once that I’ve eaten it in my adult life too. It’s just one of those desserts that you can never get bored of and want to pass the memories to your children. The newest flavour is Bubblegum, and when it arrived I was thinking …
