Whole Boiled Lemon Cake

Yes, you read that right: we are boiling a whole lemon—skin, pith, and all—and blending it straight into the cake batter. No food waste, intense citrus flavor, and zero gummy texture thanks to a clever 10-minute resting trick.

Need a hug in a bowl but don't want to work too hard for it? This bubbling pan of gnocchi, gooey vegan cheese, and a rich tomato sauce is exactly what you need. Yes, you could use store-bought tomato sauce if you want to do this quickly, but making it from scratch is always better.
