since it’s the weekend and my lemon tree’s decided that now is the time to produce, i’m make a lemon cake. this recipe i got from my dear sister-in-law, suzanne, from germany.
mix together the rind of 3 lemons, 250g melted butter, 4 eggs, the juice of ½ a lemon, 250g sugar and 2 tablespoons vanilla essence.
stir in 500g flour and 1 heaped tablespoon baking powder.
mix to the consistency of thick cream, adding milk if needed.
pour into a buttered loaf tin and bake at 180º celsius for 45 minutes.
squeeze out the juice of the remaining 2½ lemons and sweeten to taste. once the cake is done, use a skewer to make holes in the cake. pour the sweetened lemon juice over. leave to cool and then turn out. dust with icing sugar.
