If you want to bake a cake on the Big Green Egg, this cake recipe is a great choice! The cakes are incredibly delicious and easy to make, and the best part is that you are baking the lemon cakes in cake tins for one. This makes them delicious appetizer snacks. Make them ahead of time and serve them at room temperature, or lukewarm if you just baked them.
