Friends,
I tucked into this cake yesterday. It was a cake flavour I hadn't seen before and I do love things that are citrusy, so I thought I'd give it a whirl.

Tesco Finest Lemon & Lime Cake
"Lemon sponge filled with lime curd, topped with Sicilian lemon flavoured buttercream, decorated with lime curd and candied lemon peel."*
This cake did look really fresh and zingy. I cut a slice for my husband and a slice for myself. He had a quarter and I had half. (Yes, I had half of the cake!!!!)* The cake itself felt a little bit dry. It wasn't 'dry-dry' but it was quite crumbly. The sponge didn't have any lemon flavour to it though. It tasted plain. Thankfully there was the lemon buttercream and lime curd on top along with the candied peel, and the curd in the middle. I have to say, there was hardly any filling in between the cake. Most of the flavour came from the decoration of the cake. That was full of flavour and there was lots of curd and plenty of buttercream and zest.
Overall, the cake had quite a sugary taste. There was lots of lemon and lime flavour too. It was a nice cake, but if I want lemon or lime flavours, I'd rather go for a cheesecake or something creamy.
