MESS OF THE WEEK (7) Zesty, Citrusy, Drizzley, Cakey Cake

Hello food.....

So, As I've said in the previous post I decided to make a lemon drizzle cake. However, I wanted it to be slightly different so I made it just a general citrus one rather than focusing on just lemon.

Here it is, a cakey creation, that worked out quite nicely and hopefully will for you too!
