Lemon cake with Earl Grey tea as company |


Afterwards I "asked" Random.org to select a number, and it turned out to be the cooking book called "Te og kager - året rundt" af Kaffe & Thehuset. This is very good choice, as I have never tried any of the recipes in this book.

The cake dough has a soft, silky and smooth consistency and the taste is a very perfect combination of lemon taste, acidity and sweetness, which some how reminds me about lemon mousse. And the final touch in form a lemon juice sugar icing is adding the final touch to the easy-to-make cake.
This cake could be considered as a home-made version of the widely known Danish cake "citronmåne" (lemon mone). However, the taste is a million times better !!!!

ReplyDeleteHi Dom,
Deletethank you for your kind comment :-) It was great fun to participate in this random recipe, so perhaps I will join in from time to time, as you get to try out something, which you would have "jumped over" looking through your cook books.

DeleteI think lemon cakes are even more pleasing than chocolate cakes - and I really like chocolate so that's saying a lot. This looks absolutely delicious.

Many baking greetings Kiki
That looks lovely - and baking that involves a spreadsheet of any sort always feels so much more of an achievement!
ReplyDeleteHi Ruth,
Deletethank you for lovely comment :-) I am actually thinking about making a spreadsheet covering all my cooking books. This would be a good activity for the coming winter time, when I will stay more at home, as I can not row during the Winter season due to the weather and out-door/water temperature.
Many kitchen greetings - Kiki
