Directions
Lemon Tea Cake,This is a wonderful breakfast cake. It’s from the Weekend magazine dated March 18th’2005. Almond flour {known as almond meal} is available in natural food stores and speciality food shops. To have real fresh almond meal, grind your own, using an electric nut mill and blanched {skinless} almonds rather than a blender or food processor which tends to grind the nuts to a paste rather than a powder. If you don’t have an electric nut mill and do have a food processor or blender, then, grind the nuts alongwith the flour and sugar in the recipe, but watch carefully to avoid over grinding. Enjoy!,This was a pretty decent cake, but not as moist and flavorful as I was expecting. The almond meal didn’t seem to add anything in the way of flavor, so didn’t seem worth the trouble to find or make. The part of the cake that soaked up the lemon syrup was really good and moist, but that was only the bottom inch or so of the cake. And despite the fact that I also added a lemon glaze to the top, it just didn’t taste very lemony. If I make this again, I’ll substitute sour cream for the yogurt (usually seems to result in a moist cake), double the amount of lemon syrup, and poke holes in the cake before pouring the syrup over so it became really saturated.,This was a pretty decent cake, but not as moist and flavorful as I was expecting.
