I made this cake for a coworker's birthday before I left for vacation. She hates lemons, so I thought it would be fun to make her a lemon cake--but without any lemon flavoring. It's a yellow cake with vanilla-flavored buttercream icing. I was going to try my first almond buttercream icing, but my almond extract apparently spilled out in the cabinet and was absorbed into the wood. Sad times, I know. There will be other chances, though.
I wish I had done the "flesh" of the fruit darker than I did; there wasn't much contrast between the fruit and the white rind. Nonetheless, I feel it turned out well enough for an amateur.
Until next time, bon appetite!
