Lemon Tart Round Two




Having made deconstructed lemon tart, now is the time to make a proper lemon tart with...a tart base.

So good!

Biscuit crumbs cannot compare with a proper tart base.




Lemon Spongecake with Lemon Icing



Continuing with exploring desserts with lemon, we've decided to make a simple lemon spongecake. We followed this recipe very closely to make the spongecake and kept a very close eye on the cake. I took the cake out after 35 minutes; I think I could have taken it out at the 30 minutes mark.




Next up, make the lemon icing. For that, I use this recipe. The lemon that I used was big so I added too much lemon juice. The better way to do it is to drizzle in the lemon juice slowly while stirring until you get the consistency right. I saved the lemon icing by adding a bit more butter and a whole lot more icing.
