I’ve made a number of lemon desserts over time – easy ones baked in a loaf tin, spherical ones full of lemon curd and lined in buttercream icing. I wished to make one which was intensely lemony, a bit extra grown-up than most. This is it. You don’t must ice this cake – the icing does make it sweeter.
If you favor a extra mouth-puckering lemon expertise, mud the highest with icing sugar earlier than serving it and go away it at that.
