Lemon drizzle cake

Today while walking up till the ATM near my house i realized the summers are here and its gonna be a really hot hot summer this year. i nearly fainted while walking back. Drank almost 2 liters of water ... phew the summers are surely here !!! Opened my refrigerator to find half a dozen of lemon lying all around( remains of the party last weekend) So what better the a lemon drizzle cake. Frankly the lemons were going bad and i hate to waste anything especially if it could be recycled into something yummy & refreshing.

The truth is i made one yesterday and god my OTG gave me a tough time really don't know whats wrong with it. The lemon cake which came out was a disaster.So made one more this one looks quit edible though
