Lemon cake 🍋

Method

01

Blend the wet ingredients

Put the egg, yolk, vegetable oil, sugar, the lemon with its peel but without seeds, and a few drops of vanilla extract in the blender. Blend until smooth.

Tip: Check carefully that no seeds are left in the piece of lemon.

02

Finish the batter

Add the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Blend briefly, just until the batter is smooth and lump-free.

Tip: Do not overwork the batter once the flour is in.

03

Bake the cake

Pour the batter into the mould and bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C for 25–30 minutes. Check with a skewer before taking it out.

Tip: Check the cake after 25 minutes: if the skewer comes out wet, bake for another 5 minutes.

04

Decorate

Let the cake cool completely, then decorate it with the lemon glaze and finish with the caramelised lemons.

Tip: Only pour on the glaze once the cake is cold, so it stays visible and does not soak in.

Sofi’s tips

Small details, great result.

01 Use an unwaxed lemon, because the peel gets blended into the batter too.
02 Carefully remove all the lemon seeds to avoid a bitter taste.
03 Wait until the cake is completely cold before adding the glaze.
