LEMON CAKE WITH LEMON CREAM OR RASPBERRY SAUCE
From A. Lindsay Light Cooking. Baking it as I write!! You can replace the extra-thick yogurt by yogurt cheese. Delicious moist cake with a nice lemon flavour - Made holes on both sides of cake to make sure all the lemon syrup went in - was worried it would be too sour - but not at all!! The sauce with the yogurt is great too! For all lemon lovers - got to try this!!

Steps:
- For glaze:
- Combine powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in small bowl. Stir with spoon until smooth and paste-like, adding more lemon juice by 1/2 teaspoonfuls if glaze is too thick to spread. Set aside.
- For cake:
- Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Butter 9-inch-diameter cake pan with 2-inch-high sides; line bottom with parchment. Combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in large bowl; whisk to blend. Whisk buttermilk, eggs, lemon peel, and vanilla in small bowl. Pour buttermilk mixture and melted butter into flour mixture. Using rubber spatula, gently fold liquids into flour mixture until just blended (do not stir). Scrape batter into pan; spread evenly.
- Bake cake until tester inserted into center comes out clean and cake pulls away from sides of pan, about 30 minutes.
- Immediately run knife around sides of cake. Place rack atop cake in pan. Using oven mitts, hold pan and rack firmly together and invert cake onto rack. Remove pan from cake. Place another rack on bottom of cake; invert 1 more time so that cake is top side up. Stir glaze until blended. While cake is still very hot, drop glaze by tablespoonfuls onto cake; spread to within 1/2 inch of edge (some glaze may drip down sides of cake). Cool completely. Serve with Crushed-Blueberry Sauce.
Tips:
- Choose the right lemons: Meyer lemons or Eureka lemons are ideal for this recipe, as they have a bright, tart flavor that pairs well with the sweetness of the cake.
- Zest the lemons finely: Use a microplane or fine grater to zest the lemons. This will release the most flavor from the zest.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Make the lemon sauce while the cake is baking: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the cake warm with the lemon sauce: This is the best way to enjoy the flavors of this classic dessert.
Conclusion:
With its moist, tender crumb, bright lemon flavor, and creamy lemon sauce, this Lemon Cake with Lemon Sauce is a surefire hit. It's perfect for any occasion, from simple weeknight desserts to special celebrations. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make cake, give this recipe a try.
