This is one of my favourite cake recipes. You can use lemon, orange or lime zest.

Ingredients
  • 1 lemon/orange/lime, either use the zest or cut into very thin julienne strips/
  • 3/4 cup superfine sugar (granulated sugar can be processed in a blender)
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup Irish Whiskey (I usually use a splash more)
  • 3/4 cup butter, at room temperature
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup almonds, ground
  • 1 wee pinch of salt

Directions
  1. Place julienned lemon or zest in a small bowl.
  2. Let it soak in whiskey overnight.
  3. The next day, preheat oven to 350F.
  4. Grease a 9 inch cake pan.
  5. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy and then whisk in the eggs.
  6. Sift the flour and add to the butter mixture together with the salt.
  7. Stir to blend.
  8. Fold in the ground almonds.
  9. Strain the whiskey, discarding the zest, and stir the whiskey into the batter.
  10. *This is where some folks like adding the zest and other prefer omitting it.
  11. Pour into the prepared pan, and bake for about one hour, until golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  12. Serves 6-8
  13. I like to make a thin lemon icing to drizzle over the top after it has cooled.
