Lemon Curd Tea Cake
Afternoon Tea Classics
Belgian Lemon Tea Cake
Easy to make and delicious served with fresh whipped cream
This was one of my mothers go-to recipes for afternoon tea with friends. She loved to serve in on the verandah overlooking the harbour when we lived at McMahons Point just behind the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Served with fresh whipped cream and a cup of hot Assam tea or good brewed coffee and watching the boats sail criss-cross up the harbour .. nothing better.You can bake it in a spring form tin or a long flan tin.
