TRADITIONAL ITALIAN RECIPE: If you have already tried any of my recipes you must have understood i'm the KING of baking!

 

This is a great old-fashioned tea cake – and perfectly presentable as a dessert with a big serving of ice cream if you have planned to become fat fat! :)

 

There is no trick here. Just follow all my directions and you are good to go. When i cook i usually use Organic products, in this case a nice thick-skinned organic lemon instead of the waxed and sprayed everyday ones.

 

I could tell you i used to make this one for my grandmother... btu the truth is... i always bake for myself. I'm pretty selfish when it comes to cooking!

 

Then my kid comes around and wants half of whatever i'm cooking.

 

I’d be totally lying if I said this is a healthy cake, unfortunately there is no healthy cake, but it's easy to make and it's really really good if I say so myself.
