I must be honest, I had to google 'Lemon drizzle cake' now. So from what I can see it's a lemon cake with a sort of sugar glaze topping, right? And then add some custard on top. Can be interesting to attempt but I can try and work on something. 
Yes a sponge cake with a lemon & Sugar glaze, the best ones have a bite cutting through the sweet with a bit of grated rind to finish off, it's the sweet and sour of the cake world and gorgeous finished off with homemade warm custard, light on the vanilla! Attempted making an e-liquid my self but it just tasted of very sour lemon!I must be honest, I had to google 'Lemon drizzle cake' now.

@Timwis - Just to let you know, I have not forgotten about this. I developed a recipe and then I took out the main concentrate I wanted to use - forgot I had it in my stockpile - and apparently it did not stand the test of time. Fingertip test was brutally bitter, so I had to reorder it. Will be working on this ASAP

Gonna keep my eye on this.. LOL...
A couple of flavourings short so will wait for @ivc_mixer's recipe to see what other flavourings i might need and then order and try both!
I was thinking something along this line:
I still need to mix this up, but here's my train of thought:
- Lemon Cake is the ingredient I had to reorder but it's a really good lemon cake flavour, just enough lemon with a nice fluffy cake flavour to it
- Frosting and Glazed Donut is for the top layer on the cake. I looked at online pics of actual Lemon Drizzle Cakes and they have this glazed topping on them but any true cake has also a part icing, hence frosting but not too much.
- Meringue is to add some sweetness and also adds to the fluffy cake aspect
- Vienna cream is a more dark cream, but it adds a little vanilla flavour and would work well with a more dark custard as I have chosen below
- Warm Custard is something I still need to get used to, but was my immediate thought when you mentioned you wanted a warm custard and not necessarily something as eggy as CAP VC1, etc. This is definitely a warm, rich custard, but not everyone's taste. If you want to sub, use FA Custard maybe
- Clyrosweet is basically 90% Ethyl Maltol and 10% Sucralose. I find EM works better with dessert flavours than CAP Super Sweet.
As I've said, I have not mixed this up yet, but I think it will be close to what you're looking for. Or at least I hope so...

Even guessed my VG/PG ratio correctly, now to search for the flavourings i need which will be a big job trying to find somewhere that has them all rather than needing to get them from different sources and paying for multiple shipping, sure i will find somewhere!

When trying your and the recipe @Puff the Magic Dragon supplied will it just be a matter of adding the VT Warm Custard for the custard element or will it need anything else to glue the Cake and Custard elements together?
This is why I used the vienna cream and the meringue. Those two are like the middle in a 3 part recipe where it transitions from the lemon cake to the meringue to the vienna cream and from there into the custard.
Uhm, yeah, oops, sorry...
I have such a wide variety of flavours, I forget sometimes not everyone has as many. If you want, I can mix it for you, and maybe an iteration or two thereof, and then ship it off to you, you only need to pay for shipping then. I cannot guarantee I will be able to make it this week still (just finished mixing about 5 orders) but will get to it ASAP.Yeah sure, add some for ingredients and time and will sort it out through Paypal if that's ok with you?This is why I used the vienna cream and the meringue.

@Timwis - So I mixed this one up, let it stand for about a month and I must admit, it's good. It's really good. Not sure if you've tried it but I can recommend it. I am hoping it's what you were looking for, but lemme know.
As soon as i get my Bushido Mod and V3 RDA review finished i will mix that up mate, thanks!
I use CBE double mango at 5%. Works for me and being a cheapskate as well you can’t beat it for valueHi guys, I'm looking for a lekker Mango flavour, not a green Mango but a sweet ripe mango? I'm too cheap to try buying different types
Agree. Add some sweetener and ice and you're good to go on that one.I use CBE double mango at 5%. Works for me and being a cheapskate as well you can’t beat it for value
As I mentioned, it needs to stand a bit, but lemme know what you think and if it might be missing something as you know what you want exactly
Yes, i won't touch it for 4 weeks and then see if it's spot on or needs a tweek!
I will order the Clyrosweet before making as i only have Cap super sweet but also need the Glazed doughnut but have anything else. so will get them ordered and mix mid week! My only thought is the frosting is as you described but is lemon juice based to has a really sharp bite in contrast to a sweeter lemon cake so any thoughts on that?
You can also use Ethyl Maltol as a sweetener if you like. I just find that Super Sweet works better with things like fruits, etc. whereas Clyrosweet works better with desserts but I am assuming it is because it's more of an Ethyl Maltol sweetener rather than a sucralose sweetener.
Then as for your second question, I am not sure I understand but let me try and answer. The juice definitely did not have a sharp lemon zing to it, it was more cake-like soft lemon taste, so you know there's lemon in it but more like a baked lemon if that makes sense. The frosting just adds more to the authenticity of the cake, not so much the lemon aspect.
What i mean is the frosting itself on Lemon drizzle cake is a tangy lemon juice based frosting, not plain frosting!
So it does have a tangy Lemon taste!
Oh, yes, true, but it does not impart all that much lemon to it. Vaping it more and more I think I need to add a smidge more lemon to it. Will keep you updated.
