It may seem unusual to boil a whole lemon and then use it in a cake. Boiling the lemon removes the bitter flavour from the rind. While using a whole lemon in the cake adds beautiful flavour and moisture to the cake.
Wet Ingredients:
1 lemon
3 eggs
1 C plain greek yoghurt
¼ C olive oil
Dry Ingredients:
150g coconut palm sugar
225g blanched almond meal
100g buckwheat flour
75g brown rice flour
50g potato flour
1 tsp baking powder
For the syrup:
Juice from 1 lemon
½ C coconut palm sugar
¾ C water

Add the lemon to a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and simmer over a low heat for 40 minutes. Drain the water and allow the lemon to cool.
Preheat your oven to 180°C. Grease and line a round cake tin with baking paper.
Cut the cooked lemon in half and remove the pits. Add this to a food processor along with the eggs, greek yoghurt and olive oil. Process into a thick paste making sure it’s nice and smooth.
Add the dry ingredients to a bowl and mix together. Add the lemon mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Pour into cake tin and bake for 50 minutes until golden brown and set.
