The acidity of the berries compliments the sweetness and richness of the cake. Also good with ice creams and/or strawberry or raspberry purees. Leftovers can be toasted lightly.
• *Note: To make your own superfine sugar - place 3 cups (600 grams) granulated white sugar in bowl of food processor. Process until very fine, about 30 seconds.
• Note: Lemon zest is the yellow outer rind of the lemon that contains the fruit's flavor and perfume.
• Note: Can substitute lemon or almond extract for the vanilla extract.
