Lemon drizzle cake and bad raspberries

I didn't actually intend to bake a lemon drizzle cake at the weekend. The original plan was to bake lemon and raspberry cupcakes but on the day cupcakes no longer appealed to me. That's when I thought I'd bake a drizzle cake with some raspberries thrown on top.


When I'm baking with berries I always have to eat at least one before adding them to the batter and this was no exception.


However when I tipped the raspberries into a bowl to coat in flour (to stop them sinking in the mixture) I noticed a little bug inside one of the raspberries...... and another..... and another.... and in the packaging. Basically the raspberries were crawling with tiny bugs.

Ewwwwwww I ate a bug!!!!

Needless to say I put the raspberries in the bin. And I cleaned the fridge.


So it's just a plain old lemon drizzle cake. Perhaps not exactly what I had planned, but alwaysreliable and delicious in its simplicity.

I also noticed that my cake and plate matched my outfit. It's nice when that happens.
