Lemon Syrup Loaf Cake

Well, when I say lemon cake I lie. I couldn't find any lemons in the Co-op the other day so I bought limes.

The recipe came from How to Be a Domestic Goddess and was incredibly easy.
This is the second cake I've baked in as many years so I haven't attained DG status yet. Perhaps if I make some buns in the autumn I'll qualify.

Of course having cake in the house doesn't help me in my quest to lose some weight. I would like to say that I want to lose the after baby weight but I'd really like to lose a bit more than that. Can't blame Alex for all of it. We hosted the local NCT coffee afternoon here today so I managed to give a lot of it away to the visitors and I've frozen most of the rest.
