Lemon Cake

This is inspired by a Saskia Fraser's recipe from ”Vegan Food”. It is tasty and easy to put together.

I made it while listening to an interview with Alec Newman at The Lewis Nicholls Show about ”Waterloo Road” and not only. I remember him from the ”Dune” series and ”Enterprise”, but his most recent project is a very simple one, like this recipe here, about ”Love in the Lockdown”, which currently got to the 5th episode, a kind of modern ”Decameron”, only it is with just two actors in their homes and their own means of recording - a new pandemic storytelling about life, love, relationship and so on, combined with medieval music.
