So if you’re looking for a yummy slimming lemon drizzle cake, you’ve found it. I’ve tried to make it as easy as possible to follow and if you want that nice, light colour make sure you don’t leave it in for too long!
Slimming World Lemon Drizzle Loaf Cake
If you’re looking for something to make for a dinner party or you just fancy a nice treat to have after dinner, this slimming world lemon drizzle cake is the perfect thing. It doesn’t take long at all, packed with flavour and it so easy to make anyone can do it.
I like this recipe because it doesn’t have loads of ingredients, it’s not full of ingredients that you’ve never heard of before or anything that can be harmful to the body. Lemon is one of my favourite flavours to use but if you’re going to buy them make sure they’re the unwaxed variety.
I love making a scrumptious lemon drizzle cake when I’m stress, anxious or just fed up with work. I find the smell of the lemon to be calming and it saves on buying essential oils, plus you have something to enjoy once it’s baked!

Slimming World Lemon Drizzle Cake Syns?
You might be thinking, that lemon cake looks amazing! No way is it a low syn slimming world lemon drizzle cake right? Well, actually it is very low syn indeed. A nice slice of this cake has 4 syns in it which is very impressive if you want my opinion!
I will note that most of the syns come from the icing so if you want to try and make it a little healthier, you could always leave the icing off the top of the cake. The icing however I think is one of the nicest bits and makes the cake so much better.
If you’re on the look out for cheap cake recipes I will say that this cake only cost £1.78 to make which I think is amazing. Budget meals are something I’m on the look out for and I love making cheap meals. Don’t forget to meal plan and shop on a budget!
