I made this recipe for my wonderful mother-in-law while we were living in their home. Cathy is celiac, and her daughter, my sister-in-law, is gluten intolerant, so a lot of cakes and biccies and things are out of the question. I was dubious of how this would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised. It’s moist and tart raspberries cut through the rich lemon flavour – a real spring summer afternoon tea and cake treat.
