Do you still have lemons that you can't think of anything to do with? Kerry and I have been cooking this lemon loaf.
Ingredients
2 egg whites
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons lemon rind
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons margarine - melted
3/4 cup skim milk
1 1/2 cups SR flour
1/2 teaspoon bicarb soda
Syrup
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup icing sugar
Method
1. Beat egg whites and sugar for 1 minute.
2. Add lemon rind, lemon juice, melted margarine and milk. Mix well.
3. In one go gently fold in flour and bicarb soda to mixture. DO NOT beat.
4. Pour into greased tin (21 x 10 cm).
5. Bake 30 mins or until firm to touch.
To make syrup
1. Combine juice and icing sugar.
2. When cake is cooked, prick a few holes into the top with a fork and pour syrup over cake.
3. Leave to sit for 2 minutes then remove from tin.
This cake is very moist because of the syrup so it does not store for too long.
This recipe was from Simply too good to be true number 3. This is a great series of cookbooks that are still yummy if you are watching your weight. This recipe says there is 1.8g total fat and 0.4g saturated fat per serve (also, 553 kilojoules, Cals132).
