"Upside Down" Lemon Slice
July 27, 2016
You read it right... its "Upside Down" Lemon Slice ;P
My little pot of Lots of Lemons, gave us about 50 lemons. I was surprised that a small plant can bear so many fruits. And the lemons are not petite lemons but huge, some are as big as my palm!
I was a bit worried looking at the tiny branch holding at least about 5 lemons in a bunch. Can they carry such weight?
All was good to the end...
I gave away about half and I am left with still so many for our own consumption
So what do you do when you have many lemons? apart from making refreshing drink of lemons thinly sliced with torn mint in a jug... you bake lemons slice :D.
I could have make some lemon curd but, these lemons are a little bit too sour to make lemon curd. I much prefer Meyer lemons for the curd.
Upside Down Lemon Slice has a cake base that was baked prior. The base is not as dense as lemon bars.
Pour the lemon topping on to the cake... and see the cake float ;P...
Dont Panic!!!

The lemon topping will drench the cake and seeps to the bottom leaving the cake moist. Bake as per instruction below.
Leave it to completely cool before turning it upside down :D
Oh before I forget... make sure that your greaseproof paper is at least 50 cm above the baking pan, and place a tray underneath... just in case!!! ;)
