Recipe Tip: Lemon Cake - Falstaff

Top Recipe by Andreas Caminada. All ingredients and tips for getting it right. This recipe is from a book called 'You & Me: The Art of Sharing' by Swiss chef Andreas Caminada, who has won all sorts of critical acclaim and accolades for his elevated cooking. His fluffy lemon cake was made with home-cooking in mind, though, and we think it tastes best fresh from the oven.
