'The cake is very delicious. I can easily adjust this recipe to other citrus fruits. Very tasty and easy to follow recipe.'  Review by Sylvia

Baking in mini loaf pans is incredibly popular right now, but they do come with their frustrations!

People sometimes struggle for the right recipes, are unsure of the right quantity of cake batter to use (either ending up with half empty tins or overflowing cake batter!), and are nervous when it comes to piping buttercream and decoration. Worst of all, what happens if you can’t get the lid on?!

This is the recipe for my Almond & Lemon Mini-Loaf Cake. It is delicious and, yes the lid does fit on!

The cake is easy to make and requires you to make 3 elements:

  1. Sponge: made from ground almonds and flavoured with lemon zest and juice. It is a tried and trusted sponge recipe that I have been using for many years, and as a simple cake was one of the best selling in our pâtisserie.
  2. Buttercream: My ‘go-to’ buttercream is Italian meringue buttercream. It’s easy to make, light and very stable. It can be flavoured in many different ways and in this recipe I show you how to flavour it with lemon, or vanilla as an alternative.
  3. Candied Lemon Peel: A simple process to create little spots of lemon dÊcor. I have also finished it by sprinkling some toasted slivered almonds.

About Faye

I have always been incredibly excited by food and baking. From an early age I was not only entertaining for friends but also baking and catering for events. After spending my childhood in various countries around Europe (Portugal, Sweden, Greece and Malta), I moved to London in my early 20s. After a few years working in property marketing, I decided to pursue my passion for baking and took the 6-month pâtisserie course at Le Cordon Bleu, London.

Since then:

  • I ran a novelty cake business from my flat in London;
  • I have worked as a pastry chef in London hotels, restaurants and catering companies;
  • I have worked as a pastry chef consultant to bakery and pâtisserie businesses in the UK; and
  • I was the joint founder and head pastry chef at Sweet Elements Pâtisserie.

Over the years, I have established a set of values that are important to how I go about my cake and dessert making. My baking ethos is based on the following:

Quality Ingredients

Like all cooking, baking starts with the quality of your ingredients. To me, good quality means ingredients that deliver on flavour, are natural and have been produced in an environmentally responsible way.

Technique

Making cakes is a technical process. The right methods matter. Knowing the right methods not only makes you more efficient and your cakes more consistent, but they also make a huge difference to how your cakes look, taste, their texture and shelf life.

Flavour

The most important feature of any food and the same applies to cakes. They must have a balance of real flavours and taste good! If you apply the right methods to good quality ingredients, flavour will follow.

Friends & Family

Food is at its best when it is shared with others, and like many other things, so much about food is in the giving. I love how food and baking bring people together!

Have Fun And Enjoy The Ride!

Food should be fun! Life is too short to be too serious, so let’s get better at cake with a laugh and a smile!
