Big juicy seedless lemons were growing in our front yard so could not resist the temptation of making something lemony with it, hence, I baked this lemon cake with lemon glaze on the top. We had some visitors over. When I served this cake with tea, I got complements like" this cake melts in the mouth" or "the best cake ever eaten" etc etc. Here is my recipe of the same lemon cake.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups of all purpose white flour, 2 tsp of baking powder, a pinch of salt, 4 large eggs, 1 cup sugar, 3/4 cup butter(room temperature) or any vegetale cooking oil, 1/2 cup milk, 1 tsp grated lemon zest.
Method:
Sift white flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. In another bowl beat sugar, butter (or oil), milk. When it blends well, add eggs and beat till very creamy. Now mix white flour mixture( one table spoon at a time) into the liquid mixture and blend well with a wooden spatula. At the end add lemon zest. Grease a cake pan and bake in the 300 degrees F or 180 degrres C for 40 minutes or till the wooden stick comes out clean. Let it cool for an hour or two. In the meanwhile make a lemon glaze.
Ingredients for glaze:
1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 1/2 tsp corn starch
Method for glaze:
In a small saucepan mix all the ingredients, stir until well blended. Over medium heat cook until it begins to thicken. Reduce heat, simmer one minute and pour over the cake. When it is set, serve with tea or coffee.
