I have to give these a try when I have time. I love lemon! Thanks, Riverrat! I remember the picture from a different thread and it looked so good.

Well that's great, Al! I'm kind of a gym head and normally if I get tempted my response is "two words: washboard abs." But, like you, I like to bake, and as you say, it's good to have a cheat day or a treat. My gym manager and I are Facebook friends, and last night we were having a discussion about the virtues of frosting, LOL. We're both content with the frosting, any cake being optional, but in the case of your goodies here, I'll exercise the option. :-)

Yesterday, I went grocery shopping and purchased items to make this cake. I am eager to make one but not until all the chocolate macaroons have all consumed... LOL... I am planning to use my own filling with Meyer lemon juice. It's the only lemon/lime I can consume without upsetting my stomach. Plus, I can adjust the sweetness to my desire taste. As for the cake rising and then collapsing, I'm wondering if that is due to sudden change in temperature. Do you think it would help to minimize the collapse if I allow the cake to cool down slowly? I am planning to just leave the cake in the oven for awhile after turning off the oven? Perhaps after a few minutes later, leaving the door cracked open will allow the heat to go down slowly. The cake may still collapse but not as much. Do you think this would work? Also, I'm wondering if this cake would freeze well.

That's so awesome! I saw a lemon drizzle cake yesterday and I barely had the strength to walk away haha! I love citrus flavored baked goods!
