English version along with NorwegianNorsk: (English below) Her har dere en deilig og saftig kake som smaker friskt av sitron, takket være sitronlaken som skal helles over den varme kaken rett etter steking. Det var litt artig her i gården da jeg hadde lagd den. Mannen i huset er glad i kaker - innimellom. Jeg ga ham en bit og regnet vel egentlig med at han ville like den men var ikke helt sikker..... Han kom ned trappa og var helt over seg av hva jeg hadde kreert denne gangen!! (Det var hans ord). Så - tydeligvis ny favoritt.....(Kaken er forøvrig glutenfri da den er laget av malte mandler og polenta)
English: Here is a lovely and juicy cake with fresh taste of lemon, thanks to the lemon syrup which is poured over the cake just after baking. It was funny here when I made it. My husband likes cakes - somethimes. I gave him a piece and thought that he might like it, but wasn't completely sure.....He came downstairs and was beside himself with what I had created this time!! (His words...). So - apparently new favourite....(By the way this cake is gluten free as it is made from ground almonds and polenta)
