Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a 1-litre loaf tin and line with baking parchment.

  • step 2

    Put the butter, sugar, eggs, yogurt, self-raising flour, baking powder, ground almonds, orange zest, milk and 1 tbsp lemon curd in a large bowl and whisk until smooth. Put another 2 tbsp lemon curd in a second bowl and whisk to loosen.

  • step 3

    Spoon half the batter into the prepared tin, dollop over the lemon curd and top with the remaining batter. Scatter over the flaked almonds and bake for 50 mins, or until risen and golden. Leave to cool on a wire rack, scatter over some lemon zest and slice.

I made this exactly to the recipe. Yes the lemon curd sank to the bottom where it formed an even layer which was rather nice.

Also I baked it for 10 minutes longer than stated 50mins. A lovely soft light texture. I will make it again.

When I went to the supermarket they had no lemon curd so I used smooth lime marmalade instead and the church members said it was the best mistake I ever made. Tasted great!

I used 3tbs of lemon curd after reading the comments and baked for 50 mins. I also used a squeeze of orange juice to enhance the orange flavour as some have noted the orange zest didn't add much to the flavour. VERY moist and buttery cake I absolutely loved it. Will definitely make again.

Quite nice, but needed about 30mins longer in the oven than the recipe stated. The lemon curd in the middle sank during cooking (other comments suggest using half the amount).

Halve the quantity of lemon curd and this is perfect! Freezes beautifully too :)
