Hi LeeLee ..
I saw your fruit pastry at IK and come to find out more in your blog.. may I know how is the texture of your modified recipe?
Thanks so much for sharing, will try out soon too !! :D
God Bless,
Kellie
Hi Kellie, the texture is soft and moist. I kept it to the next day to bring to my office. It is still soft and moist. The lemon liquer added made the cake smells very good. The almond nibs on top also added some crunch to the cake.
It looks so yummy, soft and delicious. :)
Hi Lee Lee, thank you for the yummylicious cake that I've really enjoyed. It's superb!
hi..may i know where does the lemon zest come in? XD cant wait to try this recipe out!
Hi shan, the zest can be added in anytime before you add in the flour.
Hi there i love your page i tried this but its not very sweet the sugar other than that its gd.
Hi zaz, thank you. Increase the sugar if you prefer it sweeter. For my family, we normally cut down on the sugar for most of my bakes.
Hi,
I just made this cake yesterday. It was very very delicious. It tasted even better today. However,as this is quite a big cake, mine took one and a half hour to bake instead of 50 mins.
This recipe is a keeper. Nor wonder you like this cake. Thanks.

Hi Hugbear,
Tried making this almond cake last week. Turned out to be quite moist & soft. However, was not able to really taste the ground almond in the cake. Should the ground almond be roasted first? The almond pieces on top of the cake was nicely roasted & added to the overall almond fav of the cake.
Thks!

Hi Lee Lee,
Do we use raw or roasted (with/without salt)almonds for this recipe?
Thanks,
Mui Sim
The grind almond do not have to be toasted. The almond nibs or almond sliver or almond slices if going to be sprinkle on the top before baking together with the cake do not need to be toasted too. Usually the above types of almond if bought from shops come unsalted.
Hi Lee Lee,
I am sorry. I have more questions. Am I suppose to butter the pan?
Thanks,
Mui Sim
Mui Sim, no need to oil the pan, just need to line the base with baking paper.
Dear Hugbear
Where can i buy Lemoncino ? Do you think Phoon Huat sells it ?
Love
Tibits1
Tibits1, Lemoncino is a lemon liquer. I bought it from the DutyFree shop at the airport. I don't think you can find it at Phoon Huat.
Can I replace it with Lemon Paste ?
If you don't have Lemoncino, just omit it, there is no need to replace with anything else.
Dear Hugbear,
I have just tried baking this cake. My cake turned up to be quite hard and - not soft. Could be insufficient of beating of the eggs?

HI KY, if you have mix the batter too much it will also cause the cake to be hard because the air inside the batter has been deflated. If you have overbaked it or too high temp will also caused it to be dry and hard.
