- Add poppy seeds for extra texture.
- Add a thin layer of lemon icing on top for a sharper finish.
- Swap part of the butter for yoghurt to increase moisture.

- Refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- Freeze slices for up to 2 months.
Serving Suggestions

Tips & Variations
Boost Flavour
You can increase the lemon taste by adding extra zest or by brushing the cake with warm lemon syrup before adding the drizzle. This keeps the cake moist and sharp.
Change the Texture
If you want a softer crumb, use light spelt flour. If you prefer a nutty flavour, use whole spelt flour. Both work well and keep the cake stable.
Conclusion
This Spelt Lemon Drizzle Cake delivers a bright and clean flavour with minimal work. The ingredients stay simple, and the steps stay easy to follow. Give it a try if you enjoy light citrus desserts that feel fresh. Bake it once and you will likely return to it often. Share your slice or enjoy it quietly with tea.
