10 Zesty Lemon Recipes

Lemons are a universally loved fruit and feature in cuisines all over the world.

They are so versatile – you can use them in sweet or savoury meals, drinks and baking. Never ever throw away a squeezed lemon because you can use them for cleaning too.

A glass of hot water with lemon in it is a great habit to get into as soon as you get up.

Here are ten amazing recipes from whole foodies around the internet (and me). Enjoy!

Lemon Yoghurt Cake

July 28, 2014 · 20 Comments

I have been hankering for something delicious and lemony!

Combined with some yoghurt that needed to be used and inspired by this recipe, I baked a lemon yoghurt cake.

It is dense, moist and very zingy. I really like it and so did the kids!

If you are familiar with orange almond cake, the texture is a bit similar even though it’s made differently.

If you can’t get fine polenta, just process regular polenta a little first in the food processor so your cake isn’t too ‘crunchy’!

If you are dairy free, you can try it with coconut yoghurt and coconut oil, but I can’t make any guarantees.

As usual, I love feedback, so let me know if you make it and how you go. Send me a photo on Facebook!

 

Lemon Yoghurt Cake

Vital Stats: Gluten free, Refined sugar free

Okay, so this is what you need:

1 1/2 cups organic almonds (or almond meal)

1/2 cup fine organic polenta

1/4 cup tapioca flour

1/2 tspn bicarbonate of soda

3 organic eggs

Juice and zest of one organic lemon

3/4 cup organic coconut or rapadura sugar

125g organic butter, cubed and softened

3/4 cup organic greek yoghurt

 

Okay, this is how you do it:

Preheat the oven to 170° celsius and line a round, deep cake tin with non-toxic baking paper.

Thermomix: 

Whack the almonds in thermy and blitz speed 7 for 10-15 seconds to make almond meal.

Throw in the rest of your ingredients and mix, speed 5 for 20-30 seconds until all ingredients are well combined and the batter looks smooth.

Fling into the cake tin and into the oven for 45 minutes or until cooked through. Cool on a wire rack and use a serrated knife to cut. It can be eaten slightly warm.

Non-thermomix:

Use almond meal and process all ingredients in a food processor until combined.

 

HOT TIP: This is delicious served with cream, custard or more yoghurt. If you can’t get fine polenta, give it a whizz in the thermomix or food processor before you start.
