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:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- spray cake pan with cooking spray
- Beat grated lemon zest, sugar, and butter until smooth. Then add eggs and beat for 30 seconds.
- Scrape the sides of the bowl.
- 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.)]
- Add to main bowl.
- Pour batter into pan.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes.
- Now, mix powdered sugar and the juice from one lemon together.
- 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!
