Notes
This recipe is very similar to "Elia's Lemon Cake" which was contributed by Mrs. Elia di Gerolomo's daughter, Micheline. Apparently, Micheline herself often substitutes orange juice for lemon juice, using the exact same proportions as the original recipe. However, I changed the proportions a bit and found the result very pleasing.... Photo: by the contributor. |
