    You know, simply telling what the "Best Cake" is that we serve isn't enough. I think we should post the recipes, too! :-D Some of these sound so-o-o-o yummy, and I always love to add more recipes to my collection. Not that I make many desserts, but I LOVE to collect recipes. 8-)

    Ok...here's the recipe - I cut it out of a magazine years ago and it's become a family favourite. It's not a huge, thick cake so if you're a generous server bake two. 1 cake is supposed to serve 6.

    All measurements and temperatures are METRIC so if you need to convert check on a conversion chart before you start (there's plenty on the internet). Real butter is the go with this...not soft spread stuff or margarine.

    Belgian Lemon Teacake

    Cake
    1 cup self raising flour
    1/2 cup caster sugar
    60g butter
    1 egg lightly beaten

    Filling
    1/4 cup lemon juice (use fresh)
    1/2 cup sugar
    1 egg lightly beaten
    60g butter chopped

    Preheat oven to moderate (about 180 degrees C) Brush a 17cm shallow round tin with butter or oil and line the bottom with baking paper.
    Sift self-raising flour into bowl, add sugar and stir well to combine. Add butter and rub into mix with fingers, 'til it looks like crumbs. Make a well in the mixture and stir in your egg. You should now have a soft dough (don't overmix or knead). Press two thirds of the dough into the tin. You should have 1/3 left - set this aside and make the filling.

    Filling: Place all the filling ingredients in a small saucepan, stir over low heat until mix boils and thickens. Tip hot filling over the mix in the tin and crumble the 1/3 you saved over the lemon filling. You won't get total coverage, just blob it around as evenly as you can.

    Bake for 30 mins and cool in tin. You can sprinkle with icing sugar before serving to add a bit of elegance.
