Categories     Baking

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 Tbsp lemon zest
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature )
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
1/2 cup buttermilk (see below for substitution)
1/4 cup lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
3 Tbsp powdered sugar
1 cup powdered sugar (sifted )
1.5 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9x5-inch (or 8x4-inch) loaf pan.
  • In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, lemon zest, and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or using an electric mixer), cream the butter and sugar together at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 4-6 minutes. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • With the mixer running on low-speed, add the eggs one at a time, then beat in the vanilla extract and lemon juice. Beat on medium-high speed until combined.
  • With the mixer on low, add about one-third of the flour mixture and mix until almost combined, then add half the buttermilk and mix until just combined. Repeat with another third of flour mixture and then the last half of the buttermilk, ending with the last third of the flour. Beat until just incorporated.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-55 minutes until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick comes out mostly clean with only a couple moist crumbs. Baking times vary, so keep an eye on yours.
  • Let the cake cool for about 15 minutes in the pan. Stir together the lemon juice and confectioners' sugar for the lemon syrup. Carefully invert the loaf pan, and transfer the cake to a cooling rack, then brush the syrup on the cake while it's still warm. Allow cake to cool completely.
  • When the cake is cooled, combine all the icing ingredients, start with 1 tbsp lemon juice and milk and add the remaining lemon juice as needed. The icing should be thick and not runny. Pour icing over cake and let dry before serving.

LEMON CAKE FROM SCRATCH



Lemon Cake From Scratch image

Super yummy, light lemon taste. A different thing to try is to put the cake mixture into large muffin tins to make a bunch of little cakes, you just need to reduce the baking time. Let cake cool before frosting or glaze while still slightly warm.

MOIST LEMON CAKE



Moist Lemon Cake image

This seems to be the world's best recipe for lemon cake. I made it for an office party and everybody asked me for the recipe. It comes out moist and delicious! Source: Summer Desserts by Joni Schockett 1996

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 cake, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup orange juice or 1 cup apricot nectar
1 cup vegetable oil (canola works best)
3 teaspoons lemon extract (I used lemon juice)
1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (appx. 6-7 lemons)
1 lb confectioners' sugar (one 1-lb box or four 100g packets)

Steps:

  • CAKE: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease and flour a Bundt pan. In a Mixmaster, mix all the ingredients on low until blended. Then beat for three minutes on medium speed. Pour batter into Bundt pan. Tilt pan and swirl batter around the outside rim about one inch above the batter. This helps the cake bake higher and flatter. Bake at 350 degrees F just until cake tester comes out clean (appx 60 minutes). Be careful not to overbake.
  • GLAZE: Combine juice and sugar and mix well with a wire whisk or fork. I mix it in a large glass measuring cup that has a spout. It makes the next step easier. While the cake is still in the pan and hot, poke deep (not to the bottom) holes into the cake with the handle of a wooden spoon or anything that is round and about 1/3- inch in diameter. Make the holes starting about 1- inch from the edge and about 1- inch apart. Make about three rows of holes that zig zag so they are not in straight lines. Pour about 1 scant cup of the glaze SLOWLY into the holes and over the cake. Let the cake sit for about 15 minutes. Invert the cake onto a cake plate and tap the top and sides, or shake gently to loosen. Let it sit for a few minutes and the cake should easily release. Drizzle the rest of the glaze on top.
