Best Lemon Cake - Zitronenkuchen
You will need:
2 eggs, beaten at room temperature 120g butter, at room temperature 175g fine sugar grated rind of 2 lemons 120 ml sour cream juice of 2 lemons 350g self raising flour
My Nan used to make this one and so it consists of self raising flour. To make life easy I normally weigh out 500g plain flour and add 1 pack of baking powder to it so I always have self raising flour readily available.
Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees C. Beat the butter, sugar and lemon rind together until smooth and light. Gradually beat in the eggs, sour cream and lemon juice.
Sift in the flour and carefully fold it in using a metal spoon. Pour the mix into a prepared 20 cm (8 inch) cake tin and bake the lemon cake for about 40 minutes.
You can slice and serve your homemade lemon cake warm with whipped cream or leave to cool completely and serve with coffee.
Best Lemon Cake Frosting
Top your cake with a lemon frosting by mixing 200g soft cheese with 2 tablespoons of sifted icing sugar. Lastly add a few drops of lemon juice and beat until smooth and creamy. Spread over the cake and decorate with smarties or sprinkles - great for the kids.
