My ideas:
I used to be actually excited to see Meyer lemons at Aldi** just lately. Not solely had been they beautiful low-cost, they are often tough to search out right here within the mid-Atlantic. It’s thought they could also be the results of a spontaneous cross between a lemon and a mandarin orange which is smart to me, they’ve the brightness of a lemon however are sweeter and extra mellow like an orange.
I like utilizing them in baked items as a result of they’ve that sweet-tart high quality I like in a fruity dessert. Right here they taste the cake and the glaze and get a bit of little bit of assist from the candied lemon peel, since citrus flavors are likely to fade throughout the baking course of. It’s a fairly plain cake so that you don’t need to skip on the lemon taste!
This cake is tremendous fast to place collectively as a result of it makes use of oil as an alternative of butter so you’ll be able to (as I did) determine to make a cake and have it within the oven in lower than 10 minutes. It takes some time to bake and funky however the mixing half couldn’t be quicker or easier.
