Hello from TINA KASHIAN! I love chocolate, but I also enjoy desserts with lemon. Lemon meringue pie, lemon bars, lemon pound cake, and lemon cookies. I recently found a recipe for a lemon cake that is perfect for dessert or in the morning with my cup of tea. I hope you like this one as well.
Ingredients:
½ pound butter
3 cups granulated sugar
5 egg yolks, beaten
4 cups flour
1 cup milk
Juice of one lemon
Grated rind of one lemon
½ teaspoon baking soda
5 egg whites, stiffly beaten
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Cream the butter, adding the sugar gradually, until light and fluffy. Add the remaining ingredients, except the egg whites and confectioners’ sugar. Mix until well blended.
Stiffly beat the egg whites until frothy. I used my electric mixer.
Fold in the beaten egg whites.
Divide the batter between a two 8x8 pans.
Bake for one hour or until an inserted toothpick in
the center of the cake comes out clean.
Serve with ice cream if you'd like. Enjoy!
Hummus and Homicide is the first book in my Kebab Kitchen mystery series.
When Lucy Berberian quits her Philadelphia law firm and heads home to Ocean Crest, she knows what she’s getting—the scent of funnel cake, the sight of the wooden roller coaster, and the tastes of her family’s Mediterranean restaurant. But murder wasn’t on the menu…
Things are slow in the off-season in this Jersey Shore town, but Lucy doesn’t mind. She doesn’t even mind waitressing at the Kebab Kitchen. Her parents have put in a new hummus bar, with every flavor from lemon to roasted red pepper. It’s fun to see their calico cat again, and to catch up with her old BFF, who’s married to a cop now.
She could do without Heather Banks, though. The Gucci-toting ex-cheerleader is still as nasty as she was back in high school…and unfortunately, she’s just taken over as the local health inspector. Just minutes after eating at the Kebab Kitchen—where she’s tallied up a whole list of bogus violations—she falls down dead in the street. Word on the grapevine is it’s homicide, and Lucy’s the number one suspect…

Hello Kay! Thank you for sharing your Millionaire pie recipe! My father-in-law loves any dessert with maraschino cherries and I'll try this for him.
DeleteJust tried a peach up-side down cake over the weekend with fresh Florida peaches. Quite tasty.
ReplyDeleteHi Libby! Fresh peaches! This sounds fabulous. I'm looking forward to the summer and the fresh garden and fruit trees
DeleteYum, I'm a lemon gal! No one favorite dessert, but always loved anything chocolate, or with berries, like strawberry, and yes, please, to cherry or lemon meringue pie! Also like cinnamon &sugar, and nuts! Oh, and whipped cream! I'm easy.
