I have seen a few recipes for lemon cakes but most of them ask for rind and juice of lemon etc but all i have in is lemon extract, do you think it would work if i just used this instead? :D Wanting to make a nice low syn cake for desert today :D
 
It would work, but be careful you don't overdo it, just add a few drops at a time and taste until you find the taste you like, good luck with your cake.
 
Well i made it, i tasted the mixture before putting it in the oven and it tasted lemony lol so thought ok 1 tsp lemon extract must of been enough but ive just had a piece and it tasted kinda just plain you couldnt really taste the lemon at all :( Oh well it's still cake and im still gunna eat it :D haha! Ive just mixed some quark with a tsp lemon extract and put it in the fridge so if that turns out ok ill spread tha on top later :)
 
Thankyou britmum :)
I didn't think you could eat the peel of a lemon! I'll have to get a lemon next time im shopping and give it a try :)
 
try not to get any of the white bit of the peel into it though when you grate, you just want the yellow part, the white bit is really bitter.
