Lemon Drizzle and Topping
- Using a cocktail or BBQ stick prick lots of holes all over the cake surface.
- Add the lemon juice into a saucepan and add the sugar.
- Put the pan over a medium heat until the sugar is dissolved, then boil gently for about three minutes, swirling the pan occasionally to make a syrup.
- Pour the syrup slowly all over the top of the sponge.
- Break the chocolate into small pieces and heat very gently.
- As soon as you can stir the chocolate, drizzle it over the traybake in a zig zag fashion.
- Cut the traybake into squares or rectangles.
