I think that the low fat philly has cottage cheese added.   When I make the avo dip with the low fat , I double the avo.  Good fat, bad fat,  I give up. :o :o

Just want to reinforce everybody's comments... I made this for a picnic today and everybody was commenting how the cake was beautifully moist and delicious. A real winner! And yes, using low fat philly made it impossible to decorate it using rosettes.

I have just realized it's my SIL 60th Birthday on the 30th and I thought I would make this cake for her.I'm going to copy Julie and Maddy's idea of cooking it in a Heart Shaped tin and decorate it the same ( it's said"Imitation is the best form of flattery")But I was wondering whether if I used the Creamy Vanilla Frosting it would make it too sickly ???

CC I think that icing would work well  :)
Although the cream cheese icing tastes lovely....it is very soft, and the creamy vanilla will stand up well for decorating.

Concerning the comment on Continental people and craving for sweet things, I'm afraid I totally disagree. I'm a Spaniard living in Belgium, and whenever I try an American recipe I already wipe out about 30% of the sugar. Also, when I eat lovely cupcakes in England, I remove about 2/3 of the buttercream on top. ;D ;D ;D

Do you think I could make this recipe into muffins? or would it be too dense?

Made this on 23cm square pan, raise a lot.  Don't have cream cheese, so as per recipe note, I made lemon juice and icing sugar (only use 160g sugar and it's plenty!).  Took this to feed the crowd and gone in no time.  Very moist, will make again and again.

Hi Brunette, I made this again today - eight mini muffins and the rest go on squares tin.  Only baked 30 minutes for mini muffin and serve it without icing.  Really yum!

I made this for my mums birthday & it was a hit! I milled the almond, sugar & lemon peel all together then continued adding all the other ingredients (without taking the almond/sugar/peel out of the bowl) & it turned out great  :)
