Bring to a simmer and gently cook for 1½ hours or until soft. Remove the lemons from the pan and set aside to cool slightly. Preheat the oven to 160°C (325°F). Line a 22cm (8½ inch) round cake tin with non-stick baking paper. Halve the lemons (being careful not to lose their juice) and remove and discard any seeds. Place in a food processor with the sugar and process until smooth. Place the lemon mixture into a large bowl. Sift in the flour, almond meal and baking powder. Add the oil and eggs and mix until combined. Spoon into the prepared tin and bake for 45–50 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer. While the cake is baking, make the lemon syrup. Place the lemon juice and extra sugar in a medium frying pan over medium–low heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes or until thickened slightly. Pour half the hot syrup over the hot cake. When ready to serve, place the cake on a cake stand or plate and serve warm or cooled with candied citrus, the remaining syrup, and labne or yoghurt.

    QUICK LISTEN - Six Quick Questions (From Ep 382)

    SIX QUICK QUESTIONS Corrie to Caro: What was the most ridiculous media ban of the summer Caro to Corrie: What was one of your unexpected late-night happy moments this summer Corrie to Caro: What humiliating experience had you in fits of laughter over the summer Caro to Corrie: What was this summer’s car drama Corrie to Caro: What annual age-old problem did you finally solve this summer - what to do with leftover ham! RECIPE: 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 garlic clove, thinly sliced or grated 100g or so leftover ham, shredded 200g cherry tomatoes, left whole Salt Large handful rocket leaves 1 tablespoon butter Zest of 1 lemon, plus juice of ½ (about 50ml) 3 tablespoons grated Parmigiano Reggiano, plus extra to serve 200g favourite long pasta Place a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the olive oil and ham and cook for a few minutes, or until the ham starts to caramelise. Add the garlic and toss for 30 seconds. Add the cherry tomatoes and ¼ cup (60ml) water. Season lightly with salt, being mindful that the ham can be quite salty. Cook, covered, for about 10 minutes, until the tomatoes are just soft and starting to release their juice. Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water to a lively boil and season until it's as salty as the sea. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Add the rocket, butter, lemon zest and lemon juice to your sauce. Once the pasta is cooked, use tongs to fling it into the pan and give everything a good toss. Add a splash of pasta cooking water if needed to loosen things up, along with the Parmigiano Reggiano. Toss again, then serve immediately with extra cheese. Caro to Corrie: Which band did you rediscover this summer
