Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

Cake
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest
3/4 cup buttermilk (you can make your own: 3/4 cup milk + about a tablespoon lemon juice, let sit for about 10 minutes, done!)
Glaze
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)
3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and butter an 8-inch x 8-inch baking pan.
  • Pour the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt directly into the pan, and whisk it all together well.
  • In a small bowl, beat together the egg and the lemon zest.
  • Using the back of a spoon, make two wells in the flour mixture.
  • Pour the egg and lemon zest into one of the wells in the flour mixture.
  • Pour the melted butter into the other well.
  • Pour the buttermilk all over the top.
  • Whisk it all together so that it's well blended. There may be a few lumps - no biggie!
  • Bake for about 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
  • Make the glaze: Mix together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and melted butter.
  • Pour the glaze over the cooled cake.
  • Cut into squares and serve with whipping cream or vanilla ice cream.

Tips:

  • Zest Your Lemons Before Squeezing: This releases more lemon flavor into your cake.
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: This allows the ingredients to combine more easily and creates a smoother batter.
  • Do Not Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dry cake.
  • Bake the Cake Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: Overbaking can dry out the cake.
