Easy Lemon Bars Recipe
July 27, 2016
This amazing lemon bars recipe is easy to bake and it is everyone's favorite sweet treat.
My little pot of Lots of Lemons gave us about 50 lemons. I was surprised that a small plant can bear so many fruits. And the lemons are not petite lemons but huge, some are as big as my palm!
I was a bit worried looking at the tiny branch holding at least about 5 lemons in a bunch. Can they carry such weight?
All was good to the end...
I gave away about half and I am left with still so many for our own consumption.
So what do you do when you have many lemons? apart from making a refreshing drink of lemons thinly sliced with torn mint in a jug... you bake lemon slices:D.
I could have made some lemon curd but, these lemons are a little bit too sour to make lemon curd. I much prefer Meyer lemons for the curd.
Upside Down Lemon Slice has a cake base that was baked prior. The base is not as dense as lemon bars.
Pour the lemon topping onto the cake... and see the cake float ;P.
Dont Panic!!!
The lemon topping will drench the cake and seep to the bottom leaving the cake moist. Bake as per the instructions below.
Leave it to completely cool before turning it upside down :D
Oh before I forget... make sure that your greaseproof paper is at least 50 cm above the baking pan, and place a tray underneath... just in case!!! ;)

DeleteI have tried my hand at growing lemon trees but was not to be. It is now with my mother in law and doing quite well. I will need to get a few so I can make this. Looks divine!

ReplyDeleteThis looks lovely! I was looking to take this camping as a nice dessert to pass around. How would I keep this - would I refrigerate or keep at room temp? Appreciate your advice! Thanks, Nicole
ReplyDeleteHi Nicole,
DeleteThankk you :).
Best is to bake ahead and keep refrigerated.
Take out at least 2 hours (depending on weather) before serving at room tempearture.
