Recipe Review

Great flavor, but problematic recipe.

13-daughter prepared this cake for my birthday. It was a good choice - lots of lemon zest and a healthier, lightened cake.

The major problem was that the cake fell. My daughter was so sad! I think one reason it fell because the recipe instructs you to rotate the pan half way through cooking - but the cake seemed to be highly vulnerable then. Another factor that probably contributed to the cake falling was that there were no high altitude instructions.

The cake also stuck to the pan, but that might reflect inadequate greasing on our part.

We applied a citrus glaze (page 461), which was a nice addition.

Happy Birthday Queezle Sister!
Sounds like a lovely cake - looks pretty too...I wouldn't have known you'd had any issues with it.

Thanks Zosia. Yes, once the cake was out of the pan, the fallen center was hidden. It was very moist and delicious, and I really do need to remember high altitude modifications to make cake baking more successful.
