Our Take on Lemon Cake

In brainstorming desserts for Alo's future restaurant business, a lemon theme was chosen.  Ideas for lemon desserts were being tossed around the table for hours, until a creative take on the lemon cake was finally chosen.

This dessert highlights the complimentary combination of lemon and strawberry.  It is a lemon cake with strawberry almond filling served with vanilla ice cream, strawberry coulis and cilantro lemon curd.  For additional flavor and presentation it is garnished with fried cilantro, candied lemon zest, cilantro sugar, and slices of fresh strawberries.  Together these flavors create a tasty dessert that's mind-boggling.
