flourless cake

spaceylou

Hello all, hope you are enjoying the long weekend. Have a quick question about a recipe for lemon cake.

I have a recipe, in a book, in my house, for lemon cake which has no milk products and no flour in it which I want to make. Unfortunately, I am in my mothers house for a week, a 2hour car ride from the book!!

From memory there are eggs and sugar which you whip together until kinda stiff, then you fold in the lemon puree, which you made by boiling (or microwaving) some unwaxed lemons, then you fold in the ground almonds.

I know that you need more ground almonds that are in the standard pack in the supermarket and I think there are 6 eggs (or maybe 4) but I cannot for the life of me even attempt to guess how much sugar goes in!! I also have a funny feeling I might be forgetting something. Does anyone have a similar recipe or the same recipe they could give me?

The book its from is called low GI cooking for vegetarians (or something like that) but I can't remember the author, think her name might be Rose...

Thanks

She's looking for a dairy-free lemon cake recipe.

Apologies I missed that bit.

Is this the book/author OP?

This is the only almond/lemon recipe I can find on her website, however it calls for butter and creme fraiche for serving, so may not be the recipe you want.

Here's a few other recipes, not sure if they are any use to you.

Thank you so much guys...that chocolate cake looks really nice actually (I can eat diary I just like the lemon cake withiout it)

And yes that is the book although the recipe in the book is a different one to the one in the online catalogue of recipes...I guess she has a few!!

And I did try google but none of the recipes I found were what I was looking for - will try again or just experiment and see what happens!!

So did some more seraching and found this on an old thread for gluten free cake

http://www.nigella.com/recipes/view/clementine-cake-2559

reckon if I take out the clementines and add in lemons its pretty much the recipe I was looking for

Could it be something similar to this Sephardic orange cake?

I guess you just use about 6 lemons instead of 3 oranges
