This delicious and tangy Moist Lemon Cake Recipe is easy to make and is perfect for dessert, picnic, and even afternoon tea. Topped with a sweet yummy glaze
Ingredients
For Lemon Cake
- 1 tablespoon of lemon zest
- 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter 1 stick
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup of milk
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1 3/4 Cups of all-purpose flour
For Lemon Syrup
- 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- For Lemon Glaze
- 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 cup of confectioners sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
- Butter and flour a 9-inch cake pan
- In a bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt
- In the bowl of a mixer, add the butter and sugar and mix on medium-high speed for 3-4 minutes or until the mixture becomes light and fluffy
- Add the eggs one a time beating well after each addition
- Add the lemon zest and lemon juice. Mixture will look curdled, don't worry, it'll fix itself once you add the dry ingredients
- Add the sour cream
- Alternate the dry ingredients with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture
- Once everything is mixed, pour the batter into a prepared pan and use a spoon to make it smooth on top
- Bake for 35-45 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean
- Remove from and let the cake cool on a rack
- For Lemon Syrup
- In a small saucepan combine the lemon juice and sugar until the sugar has completely dissolved and mixture starts to boil
- Remove from heat
- After the cake has cooled for 30 minutes, invert it on a cake plate
- Slowly pour the hot syrup on top of the warm cake. Allow the cake to cool completely and the liquid gets absorbed
- For Lemon Glaze
- Place the confectioners sugar in a bowl
- Add the lemon juice and mix with a fork or spoon making sure there are no lumps
- Spoon the glaze on top of the cooled cake
- Enjoy!
