About the recipe

I decided to play around with a couple of alternative flours in this lemon cake and the end result is positively delicious! Almond meal and shredded coconut add a wonderful crumbly, crunchy texture to this lemon cake, while the addition of sour cream keeps the cake soft and moist.

With lots of fresh lemony goodness, moist yet spongy, and a hint of almond flavor; this lemon cake is a winner of a recipe. Give it a try!

    1. Funny you should call it juicy because this cake is juicy!! I think it might be the lemonade syrup in it, because it has a burst of juicy texture in the cake 😋. This really is the best cakes I have made in a while 👌

    1. 😀 I think we are related. I too love platters and serving dishes too much. My husband made me promise that for every new one I buy I have to give 2 away (I have too many platters ☺️) This one is so pretty isn’t it? It’s made in Italy and it has a painting of a cottage with lemon tree and roses. Look forward to seeing your collection too 😀.
