If life hands you lemons, turn them into a delightful lemon cake.
That’s the ingenious plan of this YouTube content creator whenever she finds herself with an abundance of this tangy citrus fruit.
When it comes to citrus-infused treats, few can rival the irresistible taste of a well-crafted lemon cake.
In a recent video shared by the YouTube channel Tasty with Kristy, the recipe for this delectable dessert was revealed.
Let’s take a closer look at how you can effortlessly whip up this treat in just a couple of hours.
To make the pudding, you’ll need the following ingredients: 1 egg, 50 grams of sugar, a pinch of salt, 20 grams of cornstarch, 1 lemon, 200 ml of milk, and 25 grams of butter.
To begin, crack an egg into a saucepan and add sugar, salt, and cornstarch.
Mix the ingredients until well combined.
Grate the lemon zest, being careful not to include the bitter white membrane. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the mixture.
Add milk and place the pan on the stove. Heat the mixture while stirring continuously until it thickens.
Remove the pan from heat and gently stir in the butter. Set the pudding aside for later use.
Now, let’s move on to the cake.
For this part, gather 3 eggs, 150 grams of sugar, 10 grams of vanilla sugar, 50 grams of sour cream, 150 ml of vegetable oil, 15 grams of baking powder, and powdered or confectioner’s sugar.
In a bowl, crack the eggs and add sugar and vanilla sugar.
Use a hand mixer to blend the ingredients.
Pour in the vegetable oil, followed by the sour cream. Sift 250 grams of flour and the baking powder into the mixture.
Stir everything together until well combined.
Squeeze the juice from the remaining half of the lemon and add it to the batter.
With the pudding and cake ready, it’s time to assemble the dessert.
Pour the cake batter into a deep baking pan, ensuring an even distribution.
Take the prepared pudding and transfer it to a piping tube or a clean plastic bag with the corner snipped off.
Pipe the pudding onto the cake batter in a design of your choice. A simple crosshatch pattern works well.
Bake the cake in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for approximately 40 minutes. Watch as it rises and becomes fluffy.
Once done, remove it from the oven and dust the top with powdered sugar.
You can also sprinkle roasted chopped almonds or walnuts before baking for an added crunch.
Allow the cake to cool before serving. Isn’t it incredible how easy it is to make this delightful lemon cake?
