LEMON ALMOND CAKE WITH CRANBERRY GLAZE
Steps:
- For the lemon almond cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the flour, almond meal, poppy seeds, baking powder, salt, baking soda and zest in a medium bowl. Whisk together the yogurt and lemon juice in a separate small bowl until very smooth. Whisk together the granulated sugar and olive oil in a large bowl until combined. Add the eggs to the olive oil mixture, one at a time, whisking very well after each, then stir in the almond extract. Add the dry ingredients and yogurt mixture to the olive oil mixture in three alternating additions, whisking after each until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the cranberry glaze: Combine the cranberries with 1 tablespoon water in a small saucepan and heat over low heat until the cranberries start to break down and release their juices (you can help this process along by smashing them with a rubber spatula), 5 to 10 minutes. Pour the cranberries and their juices into a fine-mesh sieve placed over a bowl. Press the mixture through the sieve with a spatula, making sure to scrape off the bottom of the sieve and adding that to the bowl as well. Add the powdered sugar and salt to the bowl and mix until it comes together into a spreadable glaze. (It will seem like a lot of sugar at first but it will eventually incorporate.) If the glaze is too thick, add a couple drops of water until it's thin enough to spread. If it's too thin, add more powdered sugar.
- To decorate: Spread the glaze over the top of the cake, then sprinkle with sliced almonds, rose petals, fresh thyme leaves, sliced cranberries and sprinkles.
LEMON ALMOND CAKE WITH LEMON GLAZE
Most lemon cakes rely on zest and juice for flavor. This one uses the whole fruit, pith and all, for an intense citrus flavor. There's also almond flour in the batter, which gives the cake a dense richness. If you can get Meyer lemons, use them here. Most likely the hybrid of a lemon and a mandarin, Meyer lemons, with thin skins and plenty of juice, are a bit sweeter and less acidic than regular lemons.

Steps:
- Butter and flour a 9-inch springform pan. Put 2 lemons in a medium pot and cover with water by at least 2 inches. Bring to a boil, partly cover pot, and let simmer for 40 minutes, or until very tender.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer lemons to a bowl. Let cool. Use a spoon to break open lemons and remove the pits. Purée lemons in a mini food processor or blender, scraping down the sides frequently.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Zest remaining lemon into a medium bowl. (Save the rest of the lemon for glaze.) Stir in almond meal, all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt.
- Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites until very foamy. With the mixer still going, gradually beat in 1/4 cup sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Slide beaten whites onto a large plate.
- In the same mixing bowl (you don't need to wipe it out), beat egg yolks and remaining 1 cup sugar until thick and pale, about 1 minute. Beat in lemon purée, almond meal mixture and almond extract. Using a rubber spatula, fold in melted butter.
- Fold a third of the egg whites into the yolk mixture to lighten it. Fold in another third until well incorporated. Finally fold in remaining egg whites, taking care not to overmix. (A few white streaks are O.K.) Spread batter into prepared pan.
- Bake until top of cake is well browned and it springs back when lightly pressed in the center, 45 to 60 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- When cake is almost cool but still slightly warm (after about 30 to 45 minutes), make the glaze. Juice the zested lemon into a bowl and stir in confectioners' sugar until you have a thick but pourable glaze (if it's too thick, stir in a few drops of water). Pour glaze over slightly warm cake and let cool completely.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Butter and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, cake flour and baking powder. Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and almond paste on high speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low and add vanilla extract and slowly pour in confectioners' sugar. Mix until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Raise speed to high and add the egg yolks and whole eggs, one at a time. Reduce speed to medium and add the sour cream and dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake in the lower third of the oven for 35 minutes, or until the cake is golden and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool. Remove from pan and dust with confectioners' sugar.
ALMOND CAKE WITH LEMONY GLAZE
This is a healthi(er) cake although it is very dense and slightly dry. I has a very pleasant flavour, no overpowering sweetness. It is extremely simple to make. I have included alternative for diabetics, but the original recipe itself is probably suitable, in moderation, for diabetics. I got this from a cookbook written by the cook at the daycare centre I attended as an infant. If your kids don't like the tartness of lemon, you could easily substitute the lemon by an orange. *I have made a couple of suggestions at the bottom of the directions.

Steps:
- Beat the butter with brown sugar until creamy and until sugar is dissolved in the fat.
- Add eggs and beat well.
- Add all other ingredients and mix well.
- Pour in a grease 8x8 baking pan.
- Bake at 350F for 40-50 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool ten minutes, then pour hot glaze.
- To make glaze, mix all ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Pour onto warm cake and set aside for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- *I like to turn the cake upside down and poke holes with a toothpick, then pour on half the glaze. Turn the cake over, poke holes on top, then pour remaining glaze (keeping most of the zest for the top). I then pour glaze left over at the bottom, back into the pan, then slowly re-pour on top. I repeat until no, or little, glaze is pooled at the bottom of the dish.
- *I usually add little extra lemon zest, which I grind in the blender. I then set aside most of the zest and grind my almonds in the same container, that way, some of the lemon goes into the cake batter.
- *I usually bake this in a convection toaster-oven and it is ready in 30 minute rather than 40-50.
