Lemon Buttermilk Sheet Cake image

I found this recipe at Frankly Entertaining.com. It looked so good I had to try it...I thought the topping was quite unusual...It leaves a crunch, along with burst of lemon from the zest. This is one delicious cake... It will be going to work with me tomorrow, as I am the only lemon fan in the house... too darn dangerous to be...

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 c cake flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 c buttermilk, room temperature
3 Tbsp grated zest and ¼ cup juice from 3 lemons
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 3/4 c granulated sugar
1 1/2 stick unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk, room temperature
GLAZE
3 c confectioners' sugar
3 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp buttermilk

Steps:

  • 1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour 13 x 9 inch baking pan.
  • 2. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl. Combine buttermilk, lemon juice, and vanilla in liquid measuring cup.
  • 3. With electric mixer on medium speed, beat granulated sugar and lemon zest until moist and fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer ¼ cup sugar mixture to small bowl, cover, and reserve.
  • 4. Add butter to remaining sugar mixture and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in eggs and yolk, one at a time, until incorporated. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with 2 additions of buttermilk mixture, and mix until smooth, about 30 seconds. Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth top.
  • 5. Bake until cake is golden brown and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes. Transfer cake to wire rack and let cool 10 minutes.
  • 6. For the glaze: Meanwhile, whisk confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, and buttermilk until smooth. Gently spread glaze over warm cake and sprinkle evenly with reserved sugar mixture. Cool completely, at least 2 hours. I poked small holes in my cake with a fork. You don't have to...I just wanted some of the glaze to penetrate...
