And this one from Jenna68:
LEMON COCONUT SLICE
1 cup flour, 2 tsp BP, 1 cup coconut, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup melted butter
Mix dry ingred, add butter, press firmly in sponge roll tin and bake 180oC 15 mins until golden and then ice with lemon icing using both rind and juice (I use a lot of rind for that intense lemon flavour as the base is quite plain, sometimes I add rind to the base too).
Can alternate the icings and use Orange icing and Passionfuit icing too!I double it because I have one of those older style sponge roll tins that are in 2 parts so you can extend them and I extend it right out for the double mix.

This one was from Good Morning, with Simon Holst - not hard to see I love lemons!
Marjie's lemon shortcake With Simon Holst
This recipe is made all the more delicious for us, knowing that in true time honoured fashion it was passed on to us by a long time family friend, Marjie.
Base & Topping Ingredients:
1 cup self-raising flour 1 cup standard (plain) flour 1 cup sugar 100g cold butter 1 large egg, lightly beaten 2 Tbsp milk
Filling Ingredients: 100g butter 2 lemons, grated rind and juice 1 cup sugar 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Method:
Heat oven to 180C (170C fanbake), with rack just below the middle. Line the base and sides of an 18x28cm cake pan with baking paper.
To make the base, mix the sifted flours and sugar in a bowl. Grate in the cold butter, then rub it in until it looks like instant oats (or chop in butter cubes in a food processor). Make a well in the centre and add the lightly beaten egg. Add just enough milk so that particles will stick together when pressed, making a dough. Press half this over bottom of pan, keeping the rest to crumble on top.
To Make the filling: melt butter in a medium-sized pot. Take off heat. Beat in the grated lemon rind and juice, sugar and eggs, then heat again, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens to a pouring custard. Take off heat as soon as first bubbles form. Pour it evenly over the base and crumble remaining dough mixture on top.
Bake for 35-45 minutes, until golden brown, with centre almost as firm as the edges. Remove from loose bottomed pan and leave to cool. ~~~~~~~~
Versatility is always good in a recipe, and this one is no exception. The shortcake is delicious cut into larger squares, dusted with icing sugar and served warm for dessert, with whipped cream or ice-cream, but it's also delicious served cold in smaller pieces with tea or coffee. (To store, arrange in a single layer in a loosely covered container, or refrigerate in an airtight container for longer periods).

If you have the Edmonds cookbook, the lemon and sour cream cheesecake is amazing. I add lemon juice n grated lemon zest as I like it to be real lemony :)

I make that all the time though its called something else in my recipe book. I always have a batch of lemon Honey in the fridge as I make it when we run out. I just make the base and use that instead of making it fresh for the recipe. Cuts down on time . Really yummy if you have used your lemons to make lemoncillo and you flavour the cream with that.
Freezes well as well if you make a double batch
