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:

Ingredients:

2 lemons 

3 egg yolks (save whites for the meringue) 

3 eggs 

2 teaspoons baking powder 

4 dl flour 

Meringue: 

3 egg whites 

1.5 cups granulated sugar

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