Yesterday, I was looking for something fresh to eat that was not a fruit. I wanted that mix of sweet and sour in a warm way that could go with coffee. So I decided to bake the most moist lemon cake I have ever tasted. and it was delicious. I just had it for breakfast as well! The ingredients are the kind that you don’t have to plan for. They’re all the baking basics plus a lemon.
– 1 lemon: its zest and its juice
– 2 eggs
– 125 ml of milk
– 150 g sugar + 2 teaspoons for syrup
– 150 g flour
– 50 g butter, softened
– 2 teaspoons of baking powder
How to make it:
1) Beat the butter and sugar until they form a white mousse
2) In another small bowl, mix the eggs and the milk
3) Then, add to the butter and sugar the flour, baking powder and egg/milk mix
4) Add the lemon zest
5) Enter in a preheated at 180 degrees celsius for about 40 minutes or until a skewercomes out clean
6) Mix the lemon juice with the 2 teaspoons of sugar and pour the mix on the cake right when it comes out of the oven. This will make your cake taste lemony and sticky
This keeps reminding me of my childhood eating sticky cake while watching Winnie the Pooh 😉
