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.

Just ok. The cake itself was fine, but the glaze was too thick and overpowering. It made the cake too sweet and齁sweet. I think I'll try making it again with a different glaze recipe.

Delicious! This cake is everything I was hoping for and more. It's moist, fluffy, and bursting with lemon flavor. The glaze is the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this cake again and again.

Meh. I found this cake to be a bit dry and bland. The lemon flavor was there, but it was very subtle. I think it could have used more lemon zest or juice. The glaze helped a bit, but it still wasn't enough to save the cake. Overall, I wouldn't recomm

This cake was a delightful surprise! I was looking for something lemony and light, and this fit the bill perfectly. The combination of lemon zest and juice in the cake and glaze gives it a lovely citrus flavor that's not too overpowering. I also appr
