Perfect For The Summer // Tanya Bakes Lemon Slice

It has been SO FREAKING HOT in London recently. We're talking around twenty eight degrees guys.

And I was in one of those moods where I didn't want to actually bake, but I really wanted to do something because I was bored lol.

SO I turned to my trusty Tanya Bakes recipe book from Tanya Burr and stumbled across this super easy and fuss free recipe. It's a lemon slice cake but involves very few things and NO BAKING TIME! (Tanya says she took it from her friend's mum, so all thanks to her you're the best!)

You bung all the ingredients together (well to put it nicely, add and mix) and put it in the fridge for around two hours. And after it's the most gloriously refreshing slice and perfect for summer and when you're just feeling flustered generally.

It's even good for barbecue dessert or for the whole family!

I enjoyed making it so much and I was surprised at how good it legit was... Without further ado here's the recipe...


1. Line a deep baking tray (preferably a square 20cm one) with greaseproof paper.

2. Crush or bash all the biscuits in a bag under a towel - this is what I did - and mix together in a bowl with all the other base ingredients.

3. Scoop all of it into a tin, even over and press down the mixture to make it even.

4. To create the topping, measure and mix together the ingredients until you have a spreadable paste. Spread over the slice in the tray.

5. Once you're happy, pop it in the fridge, chill for at least two hours. Then transfer to a fancy board or plate, serve and enjoy!
