Recipe adapted from Donna Hay's Candied Lemon Cake

Ingredients
- cup plain flour sifted, 75g, all-purpose
- 1 cup ½ icing sugar sifted, 240g, confectioner's
- 1 cup almond meal 120g, ground almonds
- Grated zest of 1 lemon
- 6 egg whites
- 90 g butter melted
- 110 ml of vegetable oil
SLICES CANDIED LEMON
- 1 cup ½ caster sugar 330g, superfine
- ⅔ cups water 160ml
- 1 lemon thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180ºC (355ºF) and grease a 23cm cake tin and line it with baking paper. I used a spring form tin, but a regular cake tin will do.
- Sift the flour and icing sugar into a bowl and add the almond meal and lemon rind. /mix well to combine.
- Add the egg whites, butter and olive oil and mix well to combine. The batter will look incredibly moist, but don't worry, this is how it should be.
- Pour into the prepared cake tine and bake for 20–30 minutes (the time will vary depending on your oven but I suggest checking after 20 minutes) or until cooked when tested with a skewer. Allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a plate.
- To make the candied lemon slices place the sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat and stir to dissolve the sugar.
- Add the lemon slices and bring to the boil and cook for 12–15 minutes or until the syrup has thickened and the lemons are translucent.
- Scoop the lemon slices out of the syrup onto a plate and pour the syrup over the cake and top with the lemon. Allow to cool before serving.
