Bush Lemon Cake with Honey Macadamias

Posted by Lorna Macchia on

When you are given lemons …   

Our beautiful neighbours gave me a big bag of wild grown bush lemons from their parents property, and they have been put to good use! These native Australian lemons are a great source of vitamin C to assist your immune system in these colder months and the lemon peel also contains limonene and other flavonoids that may be protective against some cancers. 

Grab a warm cup of herbal tea and enjoy this cake with family & friends.
