Expert Tips

Make your cake extra-special! Top it with fresh raspberries, lemon peel curls or edible flowers.

For a great twist, try strawberry or apricot preserves instead of raspberry.

This tastes so delicious and balanced. A perfect mixture of tart and sweet. Although I made this for a friend's birthday in January, it mostly reminded me of summer.
