Lemon Drizzle Swiss Roll

Great recipe for beginners!It was delicious!But use 1 lemon instead of 1.5 lemons. I recommend this for lemon drizzle cakes.

Great for beginners!So delicious!But use 1 lemon 1.5 lemons is to much.

This was absolutely scrumptious and I loved it and I can fly by the way

This will vary depending on the size and amount you squeeze the lemon. You could always add a little and taste the icing as you go until you reach the flavouring that you are looking for

3oz sugar
1.5? Lemon.  Is that 1 1/2 lemons. Or fl ozs ?

Apologies for the confusion, this means the juice of 1 1/2 lemons.&nbsp;
