Title: Lemon Cake - page 321 TM5 Cookbook
Post by: meganjane on October 15, 2014, 05:16:52 am

Meh....

Cake texture was a bit 'gluey' and it was pretty tasteless. Not enough lemon zest and too sweet. I was going to reduce the sugar, but it does have 80g lemon juice, so I thought it may need it.
 
I made it as I thought it looked interesting. I used potato starch and macadamia oil as I don't use grape seed oil. I could taste the oil, so if I did make this again, I'd use half melted butter and half oil. I'd also beat the eggs first and add in everything else later.

It does make a large cake, so you need a large Bundt tin and it cracks on top, as shown in the photo in the book.

A disappointing recipe MJ.

Yes, a waste of 4 eggs! I would try it again, but with 3 eggs and more lemon zest, less sugar and a blend of butter and oil as I think it has potential. The texture was nice and fine, just too moist.
