Super easy, super yummy. However, if you're expecting a light and fluffy cake, you'll surely be disappointed. If you're expecting a dense, pound cake-like feel, again, you'll be disappointed. I would compare this to a frangipane cake, made with almond paste, much like the description says. It has a wonderful chewiness to it, which doesn't necessarily sound appealing in a cake, but you just have to try it to see what I mean! Thumbs up!
looks delish!!! great job this week :)
ReplyDeleteOooh now I wanna try a frangipane cake if it's similar to the Swedish Visiting Cake. The Swedish Visiting Cake was a surprise thumbs up for me and Hubs. Glad you liked it too!

yes, frangipane is a great comparison. it was super yummy!
ReplyDeleteThis was such a sleeper cake. I didn't think it was going to be very good and it blew me away with how delicious it was. Yours looks perfect!
ReplyDeleteI've never baked a frangipane cake, but I'm going to have to explore that. Although I'm pretty spoiled by how very easy this one is to bake. Your cake is so pretty and I'm glad it was a hit with you. Thanks for baking along with me this week. (love your blog name, btw, so many meanings!)
ReplyDeleteI loved the chew factor and lemon...YUM! Looks lovely.
