Category:     Dessert

Description:
This is a Sephardic Jewish cake , the recipe for which was given out on TV while advertising Claudia Roden's book on Jewish cooking. Originally it had oranges, but I substituted these for lemons to suit the Type O diet. I suspect that it would work equally well with limes!It is an unbelievably easy cake to make all you need is a little time. Serves 12.
