LEMON DAISY CAKE



LEMON DAISY CAKE image

Categories     Cake     Citrus     Dessert     Bake

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
8 Tbs. (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room
temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 tsp. lemon oil
4 whole eggs plus 2 egg yolks
1 cup buttermilk
For the glaze:
1/4 cup water
1/4 tsp. lemon oil
1/3 cup sugar
1 Tbs. rum
Confectioners' sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 325ºF. Grease and flour a daisy cake pan. Over a sheet of parchment paper, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the flat beater, beat the butter on medium-high speed until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually add the sugar, beating until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and lemon oil. Add the eggs and yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Reduce the speed to low and fold in the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk and beginning and ending with the flour, beating until smooth and combined. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Set the rack over a sheet of waxed paper, invert the pan onto the rack and lift off the pan. Meanwhile, make the glaze: In a small bowl, stir together the water, lemon oil, sugar and rum until the sugar dissolves. Brush the warm cake with the glaze. Let the cake cool completely before serving. Just before serving, dust the cake lightly with confectioners' sugar. Serves 8. Williams-Sonoma Kitchen.

Categories     Beverages

Time 3m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 ounces lemon juice (or the juice of 1 lemon)
1 ounce grenadine
1 ounce carbonated lemon-lime beverage
1 ounce sparkling water

Steps:

  • Pour lemon juice and grenadine over ice in an old-fashioned glass.
  • Stir well.
  • Add equal parts soda and sparkling water. Stir gently.
  • Add a lemon twist.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Lemons: Select firm, unblemished lemons with a bright yellow color. Avoid lemons with green tinges, as they may be less flavorful.
  • Zest Before Juicing: Before juicing the lemons, use a fine grater to remove the zest. This adds a burst of citrusy flavor to your recipes.
  • Use Fresh Lemon Juice: Always use freshly squeezed lemon juice whenever possible. Bottled lemon juice often contains preservatives and may have a less vibrant flavor.
  • Add Lemon Juice Gradually: When adding lemon juice to a dish, start with a small amount and taste as you go. This helps you adjust the flavor to your preference and avoid overpowering the other ingredients.
  • Store Lemon Juice Properly: Keep leftover lemon juice in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can last for about a week or two, but its flavor and quality will diminish over time.

Conclusion:

With its bright, tangy flavor and versatile applications, lemon is a culinary essential. Whether you're using it to brighten up a savory dish, add zest to a dessert, or simply enjoy a refreshing glass of lemonade, lemon brings a burst of flavor and sunshine to every occasion. So next time you're looking for a way to elevate your cooking, reach for a lemon and let its magic transform your dishes.
