French Lemon Cake


Hey! Lexa here! So I thought, with the cold weather and snow where we live, that making some citrus food would make it feel more tropical and summer-y:). So, here is a simple, French Lemon cake! (The frosting was pretty sour, at first, so you can use less lemon juice if you want).

Ingredients:
  • Zest (peel) from 1 lemon, finely grated
  • 1/2 cup of butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup and 3 oz all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • juice from 1 lemon
  • bread loaf pan
Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.  
  2. spray cake pan with cooking spray
  3. Beat grated lemon zest, sugar, and butter until smooth. Then add eggs and beat for 30 seconds. 
  4. Scrape the sides of the bowl. 
  5. In a separate bowl, mix flour and baking powder, just until flour disappears. [otherwise, cake will be dry. So, mix more if you like very dry cake!! (Don't, though.)]
  6. Add to main bowl. 
  7. Pour batter into pan. 
  8. Bake for 50-55 minutes. 
  9. Now, mix powdered sugar and the juice from one lemon together. 
  10. When the cake is out of the oven, pour this glaze over the cake. Then let cake cool and enjoy!
Note: This recipe is not made up by me, but I got this recipe from my French class, and do not know where it came from. (Also, We changed the recipe slightly.) So... here is a citation to the website this came from, even though I don't know where that is. Pretend it is here. Enjoy the cake!
