The result was very good but the cake was rather thin. I would use a smaller pan next time.

Another great post from your inspirationa...Hi Mary. Another great post from your inspirational blog.<br />I have an identical recipe for an orange and a lemon cake (other than one using orange rind&juice and the other lemon r&j!!) The orange cake always turns out perfectly. The lemon is often darker in colour, takes a little longer to bake and can have that 'gumming' issue. I believe it may be something to do with the acidity of the lemon juice. Many lemon cake recipes do not include the juice or use a tiny amount and will perhaps use milk, as a form of low acidity balance. I've tried this with varying degrees of success. Without the juice, you do tend to lose some of the real lemony lemon flavour, though this can be offset by either adding a lemon syrup at the end of the bake, or just having an icing sugar/lemon juice frosting on top. It certainly can be a challenging cake, but perfection is hard won!<br />Regards, Colin.Older but not particularly wiser...https://www.blogger.com/profile/18124787982970823480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-12855470850884279232013-02-23T10:52:01.631-05:002013-02-23T10:52:01.631-05:00This looks wonderful.

When I was little, my mom always warned me sternly not to jump and play when a cake was in the oven.Back then, they said that would make it "fall". I really wonder about the truth of that now.
