How to Cook:
Get the Oven Ready: Bake at the oven temperature called for in the recipe, which is often approximately 350°F, or 180°C. Grease a cake pan and line it with parchment paper to make it simple to remove the baked cake.
Mix To make the dry ingredients, put the flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, and baking powder in a bowl. Whisk to blend. Remove off the table.
Cream Sugar and Butter: In a second bowl, beat the granulated sugar and softened butter until the mixture is light and airy. A stand mixer or a handheld mixer will do the trick here.
include Eggs and Lemon Flavorings: Gradually include the eggs while continuing to beat in the fresh lemon juice and zest. Blend everything together until it’s smooth.
Combine Dry components: While mixing the wet components, slowly add the dry ingredients and stir until just blended. Avoid making a thick cake by not mixing the ingredients for too long.
Prepare the Cake: After the cake pan is ready, pour in the batter and use a spatula to level the top. When a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, it’s done baking. Just follow the recipe’s instructions for baking time.
Refresh and Enjoy: After the cake has cooled for a few minutes in the pan, turn it out onto a wire rack to finish cooling. Slice the chilled lemon cake and enjoy it plain or top it with whipped cream or powdered sugar for a sweeter dessert.
