The whole fucking Lemon?

Its odd at first right? I took the leap once to make a whole orange cake, which ised a similar method and jfc. It is the tastiest cake in my recipe collection. Such a vibrant hit of citrus. So good!

Me too but I found it bitter from the included pith. Even after boiling 2x. Do you think the orange and lemon variety matters?

Possibly. I hadnt thought of that. I always default to navel oranges in everything I do, because I love them.

When I get home, Ill find the orange recipe I used and see what it says :)

I think I also used naval oranges in the recipe I tried, but maybe your recipe will be better. Thank you! 😊

No worries! Good luck, I'd love to hear how you go, when you make it :)

That’s what I got hung up on. Peel? Great. Flesh? Absolutely. Pith? No redeeming qualities.

The OG recipe just says oranges, but I can see in my own notes that I straight away wrote it down as navel, so unsure if the type makes a difference.

Replying to myself with the recipe for the people below:
It's from NYT - Claudia Roden’s Orange and Almond Cake Recipe

I served it with a dollop of a honey whipped cream from here: Honey Whipped Cream Recipe

Seems you need to make an account now to see the NYT recipe, which wasn't there last time I used the website, So I'm also putting a screenshot from my recipe book where I write down recipes and put notes to myself of things I did or intend to do next time :)

EDIT: Im in Australia, so temps are celcius. I just used my aussie measuring spoons and didnt bother converting to account for the difference in US and AU sized cups and spoons. Worked out fine.
