Here is yet another fantastic recipe from our lovely Gina over at The Passionate Pantry. Gina is running her own classes and if you live in Perth you really need to get yourself organised to get into one of them. They are rare and few between, but excellent. Her baking is also excellent. Thanks Geens, we love this cake almost as much as the famed Buttercake that has appeared in so many posts on social media of late.
Tangy and fresh and lemony. The perfect combo for a cake. Enjoy.
