When life gives you lemons…

INGREDIENTS

Mascarpone Cream

METHOD

Torta Caprese Al Limone

  1. Grease and line a 9” round baking pan and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In the base of your stand mixer add the eggs and sugar, and beat for 3 minutes on high speed until you reach a pale colour. Then add the vanilla and olive oil and beat until it’s emulsified. (A hand mixer will also work)
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients. Then add the dry into the wet mix and beat until it just comes together.
  4. Pour into the prepared baking pan and bake for 45 – 50 min. It should feel quite soft when removed from the oven. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then remove and let cool on a cooling rack.
  5. Slice and serve with mascarpone cream and blueberry compote
