How good is a great lemon slice? Lemon anything is something I naturally gravitate towards, whenever there's a café, high tea or other event on the cards. I think the same can be said for most people.
I am always hunting down fabulous lemon recipes for any meal. This particular slice is an old favourite from one of my many recipe files. It works every time and is quick and simple too. If you have a kitchen mixer, then this bake is even easier. This is a must-try!
This tasty slice comes together in no-time and the finished result is not unlike a baked cheesecake. It has a light base and a soft lemony topping which tastes great with a good dusting of icing sugar right before serving. If you're after a yummy lemon slice recipe which is a delicious no-bake alternative, try this recipe which is also a winner.
This lemon slice makes a beautiful tea-time treat, dessert or even school lunchbox snack for the kids. It's really scrumptious and I hope you enjoy this one!

Lemon Slice
Preparation time: 15 minutes.
Makes: 9 squares. (Final number depends on the size of the pan.)
For the base:
1, 1/2 cups of plain flour
1/2 a cup of soft icing sugar
150 grams of softened margarine (or butter if you prefer).
For the filling:
400 gram can of condensed milk
1/2 cup of lemon juice
1/2 a lemon rind grated
1 egg
2 tablespoons of plain flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
Extra icing sugar to serve.
Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
Prepare a slice pan: Grease and line with baking paper, then dust with flour and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ingredients for the base and mix well until a light dough is formed.
Press this base mixture into your pan evenly and bake in the oven for around 15 minutes.
In another mixing bowl, combine the ingredients for the filling and beat until all are well combined.
When the base is done, pour the lemon topping onto the crust and bake in the oven for a further 30 minutes until the custard topping sets and becomes a golden yellow.
Allow the slice to cool in the pan and remove. Slice even square portions. (Tip: Use a knife dipped in hot water after each cut to make the neatest presentation.)
Dust with icing sugar just prior to serving.
Store the finished slice in the refrigerator in an air-tight container. Remove from the fridge at least 20 minutes prior to serving to maximise flavour.
Mmm! So good!
Linking up for IBOT
I am going to get my 13 year old to make this. Love lemony flavours!
ReplyDeleteThe teen will love! Excellent way to get kids interested in cooking too.
DeleteLemon anything is such a refreshing flavour! This slice would disappear in a flash in our household!
ReplyDeleteIt didn't last in ours! Pretty much gone as soon as it cooled. Thank god I got to enjoy the two slices I reserved for the images!
DeleteI love Lemon Slice! Printing this out to make on the weekend!
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think.
DeleteI'm a little embarrassed to admit this but I have never actually made lemon slice. I've eaten it many times if that makes it better. #teamIBOT
ReplyDeleteNo excuses now Natalie. It's dead-easy (or I wouldn't bother either).
Deleteoh these look delicious. Thanks for sharing #twinklytuesday
ReplyDeleteThese look soo good. When lent is over and I can eat cake again I am definitely making these xx #TwinklyTuesday

DeleteLemon slice is one of the best things in the world! I can't wait to give this a try.
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think Jess. :D
DeleteOne of my favourite all time recipes yummy!!
ReplyDeleteYum! I love lemon slice. Our lemon tree is bearing fruit at the moment, so I'll have to make this later this week.
ReplyDeleteI would love a lemon tree. I am so envious. One day I will plant one and it will probably fail as I am a bit of a hit and miss gardener sadly.
DeleteI love anything memo, so fresh and this looks absolutely wonderful. I am pinning it now. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteCheers Catie. :)
Deleteanything with sweetened condensed milk in it is amazing in my book! Pinning now
ReplyDeleteI could (and do) eat it by the tin full! Such a divine flavour. I have a special adoration for the tubes of condensed milk - so convenient for quick slurps!
DeleteThanks for sharing this, I'll definitely give this a go, it looks excellent. #TwinklyTuesday
ReplyDeleteHave fun making it. I am sure your boys will love too.
DeleteOooh these look so good! I'm having a bit of lemon cheesecake phase at the moment and these look like they'd be a great alternative. I'm off to pin the recipe and get some lemons! #TwinklyTuesday
ReplyDeleteThis slice looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteHi Jody, anything lemony goes down well in this house and I particularly love baked cheesecake. I will be trying this recipe out for sure... My daughter has just asked me when!
