This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Breakfast-In-Rome Lemon Cake. Dorie developed this recipe to produce a cake which mimicked a cake she ate daily as a treat in Rome.
The cake is a lemon sponge made with oil instead of butter. Dorie’s beloved version was completely plain, but she suggests adding berries in summer. I added blackberries to my cake.
Dorie suggests that this cake be served with just a dusting of icing sugar. However, as it is nearly Easter, I adorned my cake with a lemon glaze and mini Easter eggs.

Glazing is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteYour commenting thing here on your blog is different and I'm not sure it's coming through. Your cake is so fun, I love the idea of decorating it up for Easter. This was such a great cake, we loved it and I'm already thinking about making it again. It's fun that you loved it and had such a great time decorating it.
