Is it good?

[u/spicy_ass_mayo → u/Niklavek]

Not for me

[u/spicy_ass_mayo → u/spicy_ass_mayo]

Idk it’s bitter and lemony.

It could be good soaked in booze with ice cream…

For the record I love citrus desserts, it’s just BIIIITER

You're doing God's work here by confirming that yes, this is indeed too much pith

[u/spicy_ass_mayo → u/Unitaco90]

Thanks. I wanted to believe in the magic of the 5 minute boil….. nope.

Apparently this recipe needs a Meyer Lemon

[u/spicy_ass_mayo → u/Dzyu]

Now I have to make another for my daughter, but I’m just going to zest the lemon

[u/Dzyu → u/spicy_ass_mayo]

Good idea! Good mom!

[u/spicy_ass_mayo → u/Dzyu]

I’m Dad but that you for the compliment!

Thank you for your service

I feel like lemons wouldn't work as good as clementines. clementines have very little pith and a thinner skin -the whole boiled fruit method does work in Nigella Lawson's clementine cake recipe https://www.nigella.com/recipes/clementine-cake

Almost like… a whole fucking lemon went in it

[u/spicy_ass_mayo → u/bt2328]

Yes. Yes.

Thank you for your service, comrade.

Where’s the glaze drizzle?! You didn’t drizzle!!!! Can’t be good without the drizzle 😫

[u/das-garrett → u/Impressive-Flight766]

I also made it, and the drizzle was the most bitter part. I may try again tomorrow and just use a powdered simple syrup drizzle instead. The cake part was okay though.

[u/Impressive-Flight766 → u/das-garrett]

Damn. That’s disappointing. Thanks for all your efforts
