Best 2 Yellow Lemon Cake Recipes

YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS LEMON/LIME BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• 1. PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU ARE NOT USING WHITE LILY ALL PURPOSE FLOUR, PLEASE OMIT THE 1/2 CUP OF FLOUR. White Lily flour is made from soft winter wheat and is much lighter in weight than regular all purpose flour. It makes for a much lighter cake, and the texture is like that of using cake flour. IT IS MY NEW BEST BAKING FLOUR FRIEND. I have finally been able to find it in my area, I bought it in Indiana at Meijer's, it comes in several varieties. Before it was only available in the Southern states. So if you find it, do try it, and you will notice the difference in the texture of your cake. I love it. All of the cakes & cookies that I made from scratch for the Arkansas Community Reunion were made using White Lily Flour.

• 9. Prepare Bundt pan with Bakers Joy, or grease with butter, and dust lightly with flour, remove any excess flour.

• 13. Prepare the frosting by creaming the butter with the powdered sugar and pudding mix. Then add the lemon & lime juice and yellow food coloring if desired, beating well till creamy and smooth. Then add evaporated milk if needed in 1 tablespoon increments, until frosting reaches the consistency you desire. Garnish cake with additional Lemon and Lime slices if desired, and accent with Maraschino cherry halves. I used green silk leaves to line the cake platter, before adding the cake, and also used silk Roses in the middle of the cake to make an impressive presentation.

YELLOW LEMON CAKE

Steps:

• Lightly but thoroughly grease the bottom and sides of three 8-inch cake pans. Sprinkle the inside with flour and shake to coat evenly. Shake out excess.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• To prepare the cake layers, put the shortening into the mixing bowl of an electric mixer. Add the 2 tablespoons of freshly grated lemon rind and start beating while gradually adding the sugar. Beat until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the lemon juice.
• Put the flour, baking powder and salt into a sifter and sift the mixture into a mixing bowl.
• Start beating the creamed shortening mixture and add the sifted ingredients alternately with the milk, beating well after each addition.
• Pour and scrape equal portions of the batter into each prepared cake pan. Tap each pan on a flat surface to smooth over the top of the batter. Place on the center rack of the oven and bake 25 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center of each cake layer comes out clean. Remove the cakes and place on a rack. Let stand 10 minutes and unmold.
• To prepare the filling, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a saucepan. Gradually add the water, stirring with a wire whisk. Beat in the egg yolks, lemon juice and grated rind. Place the saucepan over very low heat or over a flame-tamer and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Stir in the butter. Remove from the heat and let stand until thoroughly cool. Use as filling and topping for the cake layers.
