Zesty Lemon Drizzle Cake vs Warm Classic Peach Cobbler

Both desserts lean on butter, sugar, milk and lemon, yet they put them to very different work. The lemon drizzle cake creams butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, adds eggs and lemon zest, and bakes the batter in a loaf tin; the hot cake is then pierced and soaked with lemon juice and sugar for a sharp, sticky top. The peach cobbler uses just a tablespoon of lemon juice to brighten peaches spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla, under spoonfuls of soft dough made with cold butter, baked golden and finished with a sugary crunch.
