Lemon and Linseed Loaf Cake
Great British Baking Show ™ - Judging
For his lemon loaf cake, Mike broke with tradition. "So instead of lemon and poppy seed, I'm going with lemon and linseed, which are from our farm. The eggs are all from the farm, too."
Voice-over: "Soaked in lemon and lime syrup and covered in lemon buttercream, Mike marbled his lemon and linseed loaf cake."
Paul Hollywood: "Looks like a scrambled egg there on the top! And you have a big crack as well."
Prue Leith: "It's certainly swirly."
Paul Hollywood: "You would struggle to identify linseed in there, but the lemon level is perfect."
Prue Leith: "It's quite strong. It's strong in color, and it's strong in flavor."
Paul Hollywood: "It's a shame we've had a bit of melting - that comes down to timing."

About The Great British Baking Show ™
The Great British Bake Off ™ (often abbreviated to Bake Off or GBBO and referred to in the United States as The Great British Baking Show ™) is a streamed British baking competition, in which a group of amateur bakers compete against each other in a series of rounds, hoping to impress the judges with their baking skills. One contestant in The Great British Baking Show ™ is eliminated in each round, and the winner is selected from the three contestants who reach the final.
The Great British Baking Show ™ operates on a weekly elimination process to find the best all-around baker from the contestants, who are all amateurs. In each episode, the bakers are given three challenges based on that week's theme: a signature bake, a technical challenge, and a show-stopper. The bakes are assessed by the judges who then choose a "Star Baker" for the week, and a contestant is also eliminated. In the final round, three bakers are left and a winner is chosen from the three.
