This soft and flavorful lemon cake is easy to make and loved by everyone. Its light texture and irresistible citrus touch make it perfect for any occasion. See below the list of all ingredients and required quantities. And then, a very complete preparation method with details of the recipe.
Recipe Ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- 1 lemon (juice and zest)
- 1 cup (7 oz / 200g) sugar
- ¾ cup (6.7 fl oz / 200 ml) milk
- 2 ½ tablespoons (0.7 oz / 20g) cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon (0.5 oz / 15g) baking powder
- 2 tablespoons (0.9 oz / 25g) butter
- 1 tablespoon (0.35 oz / 10g) vanilla sugar
- ⅔ cup (5 fl oz / 150 ml) vegetable oil
- 3 ½ tablespoons (1.8 oz / 50g) heavy cream
- 2 cups (8.8 oz / 250g) all-purpose flour
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- A pinch of salt
Instructions:
Lemon Mixture Preparation: First, in a large bowl, beat 1 egg with 50 grams of sugar, a pinch of salt, and cornstarch until you get a smooth mixture.
Then, gradually add the milk along with the zest and juice of half a lemon. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. After that, remove from heat and mix in the butter. Right after, cover with plastic wrap to prevent a film from forming.
Dough Preparation: First, in another bowl, beat three eggs with 150 grams of sugar, a pinch of salt, and vanilla sugar until the mixture turns pale. Then, incorporate the vegetable oil and heavy cream, mixing until smooth. Next, gradually add the flour and baking powder, gently mixing to keep the batter airy.
Assembly and Baking: After that, pour the batter into a previously greased baking pan and level it with a spatula. Then, use a piping bag to distribute the lemon mixture over the batter, creating a decorative pattern with vertical and horizontal lines. Finally, bake in a preheated oven at 356 °F (180 °C) for approximately 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Final Decoration: Lastly, once the cake is completely cool, sprinkle powdered sugar on top for a sweet and attractive finish.
Tips:
Fresh Lemons: Use fresh lemons for maximum flavor and aroma. The lemon zest adds a special touch and is essential for enhancing the cake’s taste.
Perfect Texture: Do not overmix the batter after adding the flour and baking powder to keep the cake light and airy.
Lemon Variety: Try different types of lemons, such as Meyer for a milder flavor or regular lemons for a tangier taste.
