Mary Berry makes Lemon drizzle slice | Cake baking | Afternoon plus | 1974 

I made them exactly as she did - although I had to make my own caster sugar. (Easy to do, though.) The batter turned out exactly like it is in the video and Mary says to bake them "ABOUT 15 TO 20 minutes according to your cooker." Mine took 23 minutes and when I brushed the icing on it was exactly like you see in the video. It's a good idea to let it cool 10 minutes or so before cutting (I actually think that the one she takes out of the oven is not hot but was pre-baked and was cool when she took it out, iced and sliced it) and, if you eat them warm, they are extremely cakey, with a heavy crumb. But let them cool and they can be handled with fingers (VERY GINGERLY) and they really ARE delicious!

Mary is such a sweetheart. I just discovered her :)

Lol...MARGAREEN? That's really posh...love her.

Mary I put thrse into 12 cupcake cases for 25 mins on gas 4 and ic3d them 2 teaspoons each. Lovely scrumptious. Thankyou

Ms.Mary Berry your lemon sliced cake looks so 👍 good.i loves 🍋 lemon desserts cakes bar 🍪 lemon cookies and 🍋 pound cakes.Ms.Pam Johnson

Lol, I wonder if that little lemon juicer gadget is the same one she still uses. I've heard her talk about having it a long time, so I'm thinking it's probably the same one!

Great and easy recipe.................

I was 17 days over a year old, when Mary produced her 'lemon drizzle slices!' ❤❤❤🤣🤣🤣

Lovely English accents…very rare to hear nicely spoken people in England now….it’s all ‘like’ and ‘innit’

😲💖 woww

Judith Chalmers looks like Sue Smith,the former England footballer and now commentator.

Quick creaming marga reen

Just goes to show you that the oven could not have possibly have been hot because she was handling that tin all the while she was icing the cake, and right at the end she even lifted it up with her bare fingers - that cake tin was clearly stone cold

Voice is so different

I've never heard anyone in the UK pronounce the way she pronounces margarine here lol. She must've changed her mind years later when she said marg or baking spread is better than butter when baking as she uses butter here. Also, in the retro fruit loaf recipe, I think she says you should add the flour to the creamed butter afterwards but in her lemon drizzle recipe it's all-in-one. Don't know what to believe...first world problems lol.

"I didn't put the lemon rind in...."....because I forgot...I was in a trance because You look like Sue Smith.

Sugar addicts perfect cake

My Home Economics teacher, Miss Jane Hawkins used to say margarine with a 'hard' G. I live in Northern Ireland, and we pronounce it as 'Marjarine' with a 'soft' G....Anyone else?

Fix a family

What’s wrong with Mary’s left hand?

The host of this show is such a snoot. I can't imagine what humble Mary Berry went through in her career with these stuffy socialites who couldn't make a cup of coffee on their own let alone a fabulous dessert.

Soooooooo unhealthy.
