Directions
For the cake:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In large saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt; bring to a boil.
- Add flour all at once, then beat with a wooden spoon over low heat for about 1 minute or until mixture leaves sides of pan and forms a ball.
- Remove from heat and continue beating for 2 minutes to cool mixture slightly.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each until dough has a satin-like sheen. Beat in the True Lemon.
- Spoon half of the dough onto a greased 15x10x1 inch jelly roll pan, and top with brown sugar and nuts. Spoon the other half of the dough on top.
- Bake for 35 minutes or until puffed and golden. Cool on or off sheet on a rack (dough will settle a bit).
For the icing:
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, vanilla, True Lemon, almond extract and confectioner's sugar. Beat until smooth.
- Once cake is completely cooled, spread icing on cake. Immediately top with the nuts and chocolate (if using). This is also a good time to add additional brown sugar crumbled on top, if desired!
