This is a great recipe! The end result was a moist, light cake. I got a modest rise from the addition of the baking powder. Definitely something I will make again and again.

This cake is a lovely twist on lemon drizzle cake, I made with coconut oil and it was delicious. The almonds and coconut flour combination are fantastic! Better than the gluten equivalent I think!

Made this for Sunday lunch pud. Lovely. Only had half a lemon so improvised by using limoncello after the sugar syrup. Only had a square flatter tin so used this and kept an eye on it cooking as it reduced the cooking time. Thumbs up from my tribe. Going to make a double amount next time as on the small side for 5 and there was not enough for seconds.
