Some recipes feel like they belong to everyone. Mary Berry’s lemon drizzle cake is one of them. You have probably seen it on The Great British Bake Off, in her books, or on the internet countless times. And there is a very good reason for that — it is ridiculously good.

When I decided to try her recipe, I was curious. Would it be as simple as she makes it look? Would the flavour live up to the reputation? And most importantly, could I make it work in my Indian kitchen with a few tweaks?

The answer to all three is yes. And then some.
