Lemon cake with almond filling and organic dried lemon peel
Lemon peel (Citrus limon) is one of the most versatile flavor makers in the kitchen. The dried variety is always at hand and provides a more intense citrus aroma than fresh zest. In this recipe we make a simple lemon cake with almond filling: a moist, aromatic cake that is ready in less than an hour.
