Lemon Whole Wheat Cake with Lemon Drizzle

Spotted a beautiful batch of lemons in the vegetable market over the weekend and I couldn't stop myself from buying a few (read lots) 🍋
Utilised a few of the lemons yesterday by preparing this delicious lemon cake. The good thing about this recipe is that it uses wheat flour in place of regular flour and uses desi khand [Indian unrefined sugar] in place of refined sugar 😋
The drizzle I made a little boozy by adding Limoncello that I bought in Italy. You can skip Limoncello and just use lemon juice also 😁
Try it out and let me know how it turns out for you! 🤗

Lemon Cake Lemon Cake
My mother and I love lemon cakes. I tried to recreate the lemon cake I received as a gift. I halved the amount from a pound cake recipe and slightly modified it for this cake's batter.Use lemon chocolate or coating white chocolate if you can find it!Don't over-mix after you add the flour. If you can't get the coating chocolate, you may use white chocolate. However, normal white chocolate is rich and sweet, so it may be better to slightly reduce the amount of sugar.Use a local well-ripened lemon. Recipe by Myumako cookpad.japan -

Plum & almond cake with rosewater icing Plum & almond cake with rosewater icing
One of the reasons we fell in love with our house was the garden, with its fig, apple and plum trees. I think the plum variety is Jubilee, but she's a temperamental old thing and in recent years has flowered and fruited biennially.This year has been a fallow year. Usually by now I'd have made endless jars of jam (my favourite recipe being plum and earl grey), ice cream, crumbles, compote, and cake after cake after cake - anything to use up the vast quantities that fill every bowl we own.. But I've been more selective this year, buying just a few to eat or use as we choose rather than out of necessity.Having said that, I've made this cake three times this week, tweaking the recipe a bit here and there until it's just about perfect. Plums seem to take on a different personality depending on what you put them with - I do love a versatile fruit - and my favourite combination is plum and rose.I have a lovely recipe for plum and rose jam, which'll have to be put away for next year. You can see this here - https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/2346821-plum-and-earl-grey-jam.Meanwhile, this cake is an excellent way to use up the last of the crop and works equally well with plums of all varieties and in all states of ripeness.

Fluffy and Rich Lemon Cakes Fluffy and Rich Lemon Cakes
Beating the egg well and adding in cornstarch helps to bring out the fluffiness, and the white sugar gives this cake a rich taste. Gently mix after adding in the flour while taking care not to pop the bubbles, and continue to mix until you can only see a hint of the butter remaining. It'll be lighter with a fluffy batter, and heavier with a runny batter.★The secret behind the cake's fluffiness lies in the beating of the egg and the mixing of the batter. Add in the sugar after beating the egg well to produce lots of bubbles, which will make it harder for them to collapse as well. ★This is also tasty if you use plain white chocolate or lemon icing in place of the lemon flavored white chocolate.
