Other dairy
Yoghurt makes a slightly denser
crumb, but is equally delicious!
Keep away from the hefty dairy
like sour cream and crème fraîche.

Any other citrus
Any citrus can jump in – tangelos,
mandarins, regular lemons, pink
grapefruit or limes.

If there is a delay between unmoulding and frosting, wrap the cake in plastic
wrap to prevent it drying out. The cooled cake can be removed from the tin
and kept wide-side up and lightly wrapped for up to 2 days.

Spoon three blobs of the frosting on top and smooth to cover and just
reach the edge. Angle your offset spatula to swipe the top frosting
edge, making it sharp and neat. Don’t worry about any errant smears
underneath the frosting edge. Place the citrus crisps on top and serve
at room temperature.

* The cake was hanging upside down and then fell out! This is b ecause it was
underbaked or the meringue w asn’t folded into the base thoroughly. Discard it.

I  am so sorry it can’t be saved, but the scraps are yours for snacking!
** If it didn’t come out of the tin cleanly and looks messily hacked, make double
the frosting and ice the top and sides like the Gingerspice angel food cake
(see  page 172). Press finely crushed white chocolate or Crisp rye streusel
(page 274) on the sides. Pop the lemon slices on the top. Brava!
