I first tried this cake a little while ago at a friend’s house. To tell the truth it was delicious but a little on the sweet side for me. But that didn’t stop me from asking for the recipe. And as it turned out this was another one of those you-gotta-love “Italian Desserts”. This Tablespoon Lemon Cake was along the same lines as my Easy Yogurt Cake that was given to me in yogurt cup measurements! But this cake is actually called Torta dei 12 Cucchiai / 12 Tablespoon Cake. I actually remade this cake a few times until I got it right, or as the Italian declared now this is a Lemon Cake! And that was to bring a couple of ingredients down to 10 tablespoons instead of 12, and to add a little more of this and a little less of that. And that is why I call it the “Tablespoon Cake”.
I have always been a lover of Lemons, from anything and everything Lemon flavoured to even the Lemon cologne. But not until I came to Italy did I ever see or have Lemon Trees. Yes it took us a good 20 years to get our tree to grow a Lemon, when everyone else was drowning in them.
