How To: Quarter and Deseed a Lemon
step-by-step
instructions
Make the batter
1 Make the batter

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 350°F. Wash and dry the lemon; using a zester or the small side of a box grater, zest the lemon to get 2 teaspoons. In a small pan, heat the butter on medium-high until melted (or melt in a medium bowl in the microwave). Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the eggs, ricotta, brown sugar, and lemon zest. Whisk to thoroughly combine. Add the almond flour and cornbread mix; whisk to incorporate.

Bake the cake
2 Bake the cake

Lightly grease an 8-inch square (or 11-inch by 6-inch) baking dish. Transfer the batter to the baking dish; spread into an even layer. Bake, rotating the baking dish halfway through, 18 to 22 minutes (for 8-inch) or 20 to 24 minutes (for 11- by 6-inch), or until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool about 1 hour, or until room temperature (for quicker cooling, place in the refrigerator).

Make the glaze & serve your dish
3 Make the glaze & serve your dish

Meanwhile, quarter and deseed the lemon. In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar, the juice of 2 lemon wedges (you will have extra), and 1 teaspoon of water. Whisk to combine (if the glaze seems too thick, gradually add 1 teaspoon of water at a time to achieve your desired consistency). Top the cooled cake with the glaze and spread into an even layer; cut into 9 equal-sized pieces. Enjoy!
