Maderia Cake is one of my friends favourite cake and I decided to make it for him. I personally prefer a Victoria sponge cake they are much more lighter and spongier.<\/p>\n

I really like mini cakes and try make them when I get the chance as I think they’re so cute. <\/p>\n

The mixture of this cake is quite thick and the cake itself is dense too. After looking through a few recipes, I ended up using Nigella’s recipe as I liked the fact it used a whole lemon juice whereas others only used lemon zest. I thought this would make the cake more moist but I found it was a bit dry and had a very eggy taste. I really wasn’t a fan and felt a bit disappointed in giving it to my friend.<\/p>\n
