Category: Cakes
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

1 zest lemon
3/4 cup superfine sugar (granulated sugar can be processed in a blender)
3 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup Irish Whiskey
3/4 cup butter, at room temperature
2 cups flour
3/4 cup almonds, ground
Pinch of salt

Place zest in a small bowl. Let it soak in whiskey overnight.

The next day, preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9 inch cake pan. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy and then whisk in the eggs. Sift the flour and add to the butter mixture together with the salt. Stir to blend. Fold in the ground almonds. Strain the whiskey, discarding the zest, and stir the whiskey into the batter.

Pour into the prepared pan, and bake for about one hour, until golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serves 6-8

I like to make a thin lemon icing to drizzle over the top after it has cooled.
