Not Black and Yellow

It is the Eve of the 2019 AFL Grand Final, my team, Hawks, weren’t in the running, and the finals being played between Tigers and Giants, as a Victorian resident I’d normally have gone with Tigers...but the run up has been so dominated by yellow and gold that I’ve picked the out of towners, and baked a variant of this cake.

BBC Good Food Lemon Sponge

I made a minor error and had put the flower in with the sugar, so opted for an all in one approach, just leaving the yogurt to fold in at the end. Always plenty to lick up after a sponge, the best part!

Empty, but lined 18cm tin...

Mixture in the tin

Then in the oven

Time to “clean up”

Out she comes

And out more to cool

Then the icing...I didn’t have anything better than dark choc for the “charcoal” part of the colours, but it doesn’t look too bad!
