Moroccan Lemon Cake (Meskouta)
This amazing Moroccan Lemon Cake (Meskouta) is a light cake that is simple to prepare and tastes absolutely delicious. If you love the flavor of lemons, you can add extra juice to the cake mixture for an extra citrus hit.
Start by making the lemon-flavored cake batter. Bake in a bundt pan and transfer to a wire rack once cooked. As the cake cools, make a lemon glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the cake and allow it to run down the sides. I love to serve this cake with strong tea or coffee. Yum!
