Those expecting a "cake" will be disappointed. This is more like a baked custard/souffle It is very delicious but I agree a little simple syrup goes a long way

This cake uses egg whites as the levening agent, instead of chemical leveners. When you make the first part of the batter, it is EXTREMELY thick. You then fold in the beaten egg whites. I would actually recommend just stirring in the first half of the whites, by hand, so that they can lighten the batter. Then, gently fold in the second half.

The texture of the cake is light yet dense and somewhat dry... think of an angel food cake, if that helps.

The simple syrup is EXTREMELY sweet, so go easy on it!

I thought this cake was just okay, but my hubby LOVED it, so I am going to meet in the middle and give it four stars.

I bake all the time, and decided to try out this recipe. The consistency of the batter was odd, very thick, I had to re-read the recipe to make sure I didn't miss any additional liquids. The egg whites came out perfect however, but the part where you mix oil, sugar, flour, and the rest of the ingredients was WAY to thick, even after adding the egg whites, it came out clumpy. The flavor of the cake was okay, a bit too sweet for my liking. I probably won't be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly and baked it in a springform pan. It came out beautifully -- so high, light and full of lemon flavor. The mint did not overpower the lemon and I used a good handful chopped finely. The syrup finished it off very nicely and gave it the moistness and added flavor. I believe this could be my all-time favorite cake.
