I will definitely make this cake once I buy the flour.
Thank you!!
This sounds gorgeous, lemon cake is always a favourite. Valerie
That looks great!
That cake looks delicious and is making my mouth water but I am trying to lose weight and cakes, however delicious are off my list. I discovered I had put on 10lbs over a 12 month period. I was horrified as I knew it was due to overeating. I do a lot of exercise but if you eat too much the weight will still go on. So it's out with the cake, crisps and biscuits!
...Sukrin Melis is new to me.
Mmmm lemons...
This looks so good! Thanks for the brussels sprouts recipe!

That looks so good!

That sounds good!
I love lemon, that looks so good I would love to have some right now with my tea.

God bless.

Really delicious. I've always liked lemon cake.
This looks delicious!Thanks for the recipe!
my hubby really likes lemon treats, he just bought a bag of lemon oreo cookies
Almond flour is so expensive. In a couple of weeks time a friend and I will be celebrating our birthdays...which are a week apart, and every year, just the two of us, get together at her home for a decadent morning tea. My old tradition of arriving with decadent treats has to be altered this time around as she is now on the Keto diet.
I intend making a couple of special treats for us to feast upon (with some left-over for her husband to share when he arrives home from work later in the day!)...but I'll be using coconut flour, not almond. I'm making blueberry muffins, coconut blondies and a cheese-bacon loaf...I'm considering tossing some sun-dried tomatoes into the loaf ingredients.
I also love lemons. The cake looks great, too.
It looks delicious. I do love a lemon cake.
This looks delicious, perfect for Neil who is missing his sweet treats, and thanks so much for the guide to flours, I will definitely check it out. My file of low carb recipies is growing day by day thanks to you Jan. Take care and have a lovely weeken, Sue xx
