Into the first bowl, add the lemon zest, the lemon juice and some orange food colouring paste. Into the second bowl, add the salted licorice mixer. Add half of the flour mixture into each bowl.
Spoon the dough into the tin and make a marble patter using a knife.
Bake in the middle of the oven for about 18 minutes until only a couple of crumbs stick to a test stick. Don’t bake too long.
