Whole Lemon Blender Cake

86

Our Whole Orange Blender Cake went mega viral so we knew we had to create a lemon version. I switched up the recipe and used a more traditional approach with all purpose flour and cane sugar. This cake is awesome and definitely packed with all the lemon flavors. It has a dense texture which is due to the blender process.

The best type of lemon for this recipe is a Meyer’s Lemon -if you have it. I did not have it and used a regular lemon and it came out great. If you don’t have Vanilla Greek Yogurt, simply use regular Greek yogurt and add in 1 tsp vanilla extract and a bit more sugar to the blender.

Thank you for supporting Hungry Happens! I hope you enjoy making this recipe as much as I enjoyed creating it. If you have the time, please rate and comment on this recipe. Now LOVE YOUR LIFE!
