Instructions
How to prepare the fluffy and tall Lemon Cake?
- To prepare this delicious Lemon Cake, we start by squeezing the fruit using a citrus juicer. We need to obtain 100g of juice. Let's also obtain the zest from 2 lemons. Set aside.
- In a bowl, put the sugar and eggs, and start working them with an electric mixer for a few minutes. When the mixture becomes frothy, we can add the oil gradually, the zest, and lemon juice, and continue working everything with the electric mixer.
- After a few minutes, when the ingredients are well blended, we can sift the flour into another bowl. Preheat the oven to 338°F.
- Turn the beaters back on at low speed in the liquid mixture and add one tablespoon of flour at a time so that no lumps form. Lastly, sift and pour the baking powder into our mixture. Mix well and turn off the beaters.
- Take a cake pan of 22 cm in diameter (8.7 inches) and grease it before pouring the mixture (if your pan is larger, the cake will be slightly lower). Smooth the mixture with a spatula so that it will rise uniformly during baking in the oven.
- By the way, it's time to bake: let it cook at 338°F for 50 minutes. Perform the toothpick test before definitively removing it from the oven! Let the fluffy and tall Lemon Cake cool completely before dusting the surface with powdered sugar, slicing, and serving.
Tips
You can fill this cake with delicious lemon cream and decorate it with puffs of whipped cream and caramelized zest for a wow result suitable even for a birthday party! Alternatively, you can enrich the mixture with almonds previously toasted and then chopped, to give a more intense and rustic touch. Instead of the zest of two lemons, you can try adding a little grated ginger.Conservation of Lemon Cake
Once you have prepared your delicious lemon cake, it will be essential to store it properly to maintain its freshness and softness over time. Here are some helpful tips on conservation:
- Cooling: Before storing the cake, make sure it has completely cooled down. Let it rest on a cooling rack for at least an hour. This way, you will prevent moisture from building up and compromising its texture.
- Packaging: Wrap the cake carefully in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. Alternatively, you can use a covered plate or a glass dome. Ensure that the packaging is tightly sealed to prevent air from getting in, which could dry out the sweet treat.
- Room temperature storage: If your house has a cool and controlled temperature, you can store the lemon cake at room temperature. However, make sure it’s away from heat sources such as stoves or electrical appliances, which could affect its freshness.
- Refrigeration: If you prefer to store the cake in the refrigerator, place it in a covered container or wrap it in plastic wrap. Keep in mind that the cold might slightly harden the cake’s texture. Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Freezing: If you wish to preserve the lemon cake for a longer period, you can freeze it. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a sealed food bag. When you want to consume it, gradually thaw it in the refrigerator or at room temperature.
By following these simple tips, you can enjoy your lemon cake for several days, preserving its delightful flavor and soft texture.
