This months Cake Slice Bakers selection is "Lemon and Almond Streamliner Cake". This recipe called for almond paste which I made using the recipe from "Taste of Home". Never had I used this in any of my baking, which made me a little nervous. It was super easy to make, and the flavor is pretty amazing! Loved it!
The cake was pretty easy to make. I honestly didn't like the lemon custard, which made me super disapointed because I love lemon desserts. The cake had a nice tender crumb, and think that it would have been better glazing it with a lemon glaze.
I'm going to have to give this dessert a second chance tweaking the custard a little.

ReplyDeleteYour cake looks like the one in the book!
Sorry that you did not like the lemon custard though.
Looks beautiful. I wasn't ambitious enough to tackle the almond paste, so I'm sitting this one out.
ReplyDeleteAnabel, this is a gorgeous cake! Your custard is just perfect- I'm with Emily- it looks like the one in the book, if not better!

Great job! Looks sooo good! I am sorry the lemon custard wasn't to your liking :( hopefully our next cake will remove the bitter taste from this one? ;)
ReplyDeleteSorry that you didn't like the custard. A lemon glaze sounds wonderful with this cake!
ReplyDeleteYour cake looks quite lovely though.

Even though you didn't like your custard I wish I could reach into your picture and take a spoonful - it looks so creamy and luscious. I agree with the others, your cake looks just like the one in the book.
ReplyDeleteYour cake looks beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteAnabel, it's a pity you didn't like the lemon custard. Psst, even without the lemon curdy custard, the cake is still delish! Your cake looks very inviting!
ReplyDeleteSorry you didn't like the custard, Anabel, but you did a beautiful job with this cake!
