About a year ago I made a cake, from the TV show Cook Yourself Thin. It was a moist lemon cake, and it had ground almonds instead of flour, and instead of eggs or oil it had poached then food-processed lemons (rind and all). Now, my mum wants this recipe and I cant find it for the life of me!
Also she has asked me to find her one that is a light chocolate cake, with 4 eggs seperated in it, and ground almonds, and it must have chocolate drops melted or cooking chocolate in it too.
So, I was just helping you wonderful people could help a girl out and help me find these recipes please?
Thanks!

    2. Halve the lemon, remove the pips, then purée in a blender, skin and all.
