Cheese and Lemon Cake - Feast Your Eyes


As we near the end of Florida's Meyer lemon season (which usually runs from December to April), it may be time for a lemon-dessert marathon. The Meyer, a hybrid of lemon and mandarin orange that originated in China, is more round and sweet than your average lemon, and its juice adds amazing zest to pies and cakes.

Spanish-language blog conicadelsol offers the recipe for the lemon cake above, which is made with mascarpone cheese for creaminess (in case you don't read Spanish, there are step-by-step illustrations, and the ingredients are simply a stick of butter, 4 ounces of mascarpone, a cup of sugar, 3/4 cup of flour, 2 eggs and the zest of one lemon). For a super-creamy lemon cheesecake, see our recipe, as well as a recipe for a fluffy lemon cake sans cheese. And for the rest of the lemon-season marathon, see Kitchen Daily for lemon recipes from appetizers to midnight snacks.

And the food -- oh the food! I can still taste it. After the completion of the ceremony, bags of popcorn and peanuts were up for grabs, along with refreshing Izze sodas in red hues with gray-striped straws to match the decor.

Read on for the complete menu along with jaw-dropping photographs.
