Discover Australia Through Her Food

Lemon Myrtle is probably the most widely known bush food aside from macadamia nuts. It's creamy lemon lime aroma and flavour has been incorporated in a wide range of products, edible and non edible.

It's best used in short bakes or toward the end of dish creation.

This simple easy cake is essentially a modification of the Greek Yoghurt Cake.

Whisk 4 eggs into 1.5 cups of Coconut Yoghurt and then add 5 tablespoons of Tapioca Flour plus 1 tablespoon of Lemon Myrtle powder.

(If you want to sweeten it add half a cup of sugar to the Yoghurt before the eggs.)

When smooth and lump free pour into a spring form cake tin lined with baking paper. Place into an oven preheated to 180C for one hour.

Remove from oven and cool for 30 minutes before placing in the fridge for a minimum 2 hours. It will sink in the middle which is the desired result making it easy to fill with diced fresh fruit or maple syrup and cream as per the pic.
