So it's like this. Every Tuesday, my husband is off playing figure games with his male friends in their gaming lair. And since I love to bake, I came up with the idea that every Tuesday I would bake a new cake or cookie for them just for fun. As this has now become a tradition, I have decided to post my creations here on this blog to share with you and also tell you what the men said about the different cakes. That way you can get an idea of ​​how the cake tastes and maybe try to bake one yourself.

Lemon meringue cake. Tuesday-cake is back on track!

So, last week I had some vacation time and therefore there was no baking last Tuesday. I was off and enjoying life with friends and did not have time to bake. But today I'm back and the men will get to taste yet another Bella-cake.

Today's cake is called "lemon meringue cake".

It's a cake so full of lemon taste that it almost turns a bit sour in your mouth just like a piece of lemon would.
But it also has the meringue taste which is very sweet. So the two different flavors together form a super delicious cake, well this is at least what I hope the guys will think. Since this is all about them and there opinions. 

So in a few hours I will have some answers about what the thought about the cake and get back to you.

In the mean time hers the recipe:

2 lemons 
3 egg yolks (save whites for the meringue) 
3 eggs 
2 teaspoons baking powder

Meringue: 
3 egg whites 
1.5 cups granulated sugar

(For this you'll need a baking dish that's about 32x25 cm  )
