I made them exactly as she did - although I had to make my own caster sugar. (Easy to do, though.) The batter turned out exactly like it is in the video and Mary says to bake them "ABOUT 15 TO 20 minutes according to your cooker." Mine took 23 minutes and when I brushed the icing on it was exactly like you see in the video. It's a good idea to let it cool 10 minutes or so before cutting (I actually think that the one she takes out of the oven is not hot but was pre-baked and was cool when she took it out, iced and sliced it) and, if you eat them warm, they are extremely cakey, with a heavy crumb. But let them cool and they can be handled with fingers (VERY GINGERLY) and they really ARE delicious!

Mary is such a sweetheart. I just discovered her :)

I'm going to try that - did you ice them when they were hot or cold?

Lol, I wonder if that little lemon juicer gadget is the same one she still uses. I've heard her talk about having it a long time, so I'm thinking it's probably the same one!

Ms.Mary Berry your lemon sliced cake looks so 👍 good.i loves 🍋 lemon desserts cakes bar 🍪 lemon cookies and 🍋 pound cakes.Ms.Pam Johnson

Quick creaming marga reen

Just goes to show you that the oven could not have possibly have been hot because she was handling that tin all the while she was icing the cake, and right at the end she even lifted it up with her bare fingers - that cake tin was clearly stone cold

I've never heard anyone in the UK pronounce the way she pronounces margarine here lol. She must've changed her mind years later when she said marg or baking spread is better than butter when baking as she uses butter here. Also, in the retro fruit loaf recipe, I think she says you should add the flour to the creamed butter afterwards but in her lemon drizzle recipe it's all-in-one. Don't know what to believe...first world problems lol.

All recipes are diffferent. Some are all together.. some are Very Specific that they work the way the recipe says to put it together. Baking is a different sort of business. sometimes easy... sometimes in steps.

Margarine with a hard 'g' was the original way it was pronounced in the UK. It's how my granny said it too, i.e. 'marggarinn'

Same with cinema. The C like a K. Many pronunciations have changed.

Watch her make a fruit cake from I think the very same episode, and she's more traditional in creaming sugar with butter then adding sieved flour. So this lemon cake's more of a rough and ready bake.

My Home Economics teacher, Miss Jane Hawkins used to say margarine with a 'hard' G. I live in Northern Ireland, and we pronounce it as 'Marjarine' with a 'soft' G....Anyone else?

Lovely English accents…very rare to hear nicely spoken people in England now….it’s all ‘like’ and ‘innit’

The host of this show is such a snoot. I can't imagine what humble Mary Berry went through in her career with these stuffy socialites who couldn't make a cup of coffee on their own let alone a fabulous dessert.

It's just the way they behaved in the period. Women were more demure and reserved. Notice how softly spoken they both are, and there is no superfluous gushing, or phoney laughter / joke cracking.

If you watch a few of these, Mary is the one who ends up coming across snooty and cold toward Judith, who is trying to 'learn' on behalf of the viewer.
