This cake was a delight to make. It was super easy and quite delicious. The lemon zest added to the cake was refreshing. The cake called for ground almonds which made for a speckled batter.
I served the cake for Sunday dessert which meant that I didn't get any pictures of it sliced and with the goodies on top because of lighting and we finished the cake off before morning pictures could be taken. I skipped the lemon marmalade and served it with whipped cream and raspberry sauce. I considered making a lemon syrup, but I didn't have enough fresh lemon juice. It was delicious with the sweetened whipped cream and raspberries, but I might try fresh strawberries next time. I also think it would be good with chocolate mousse and fresh strawberries. All in all it is a great basic cake that you could change up fillings or toppings, especially if you baked it in a round pan. Others who made this dessert suggested using a lemon curd which I think would be fabulous.

Oooh, I have read nothing but good stuff about this recipe. I definitely have to try it out!
I made mine with an orange mousse... I think a chocolate mousse would be great! So glad you liked it! Love that you served it with a raspberry sauce!
I think this cake would have been good with anything on top. But raspberry sauce sounds especially enticing. Great job.
There are so many great variations of this recipe. Next time I want to try iy with lemon curd and berries. Yours looks delicious, even without the toppings!
The cake must have been tasted amazing with whipped cream and raspberries! It is truly a versatile cake. Thanks for stopping by.
