Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9 inch springform pan. Set aside.
- 2. Beat cream cheese on medium high for about 5 minutes until smooth and creamy. Add confectioner's sugar beat another 2 minutes. Add egg and beat until blended about 1 more minute, then add butter, both lemon and vanilla extracts, and lemon peel. Beat until combined for about 1 more minute. Set aside.
- 3. Cake Batter: In large bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Next, whisk into flour mixture the butter, eggs, lemon juice, vanilla extract,and lemon peel until combined...DO NOT OVER MIX.
- 4. Pour batter into spring form pan and spread batter evenly in the bottom of the prepared pan. Top with Cream cheese mixture by evenly spreading mixture over the batter to within 1/2" from edges of pan so that some of the cake batter still shows..see picture.
- 5. Bake for 35-40 minutes...or until the cake has puffed up or toothpick inserted comes out clean on the outer edges of the cake..not in the middle where the cream cheese is..very important.
- 6. Allow to cool in pan for 10 minutes before releasing sides of springform ring and then cool for another hour on the cooling rack. Now refrigerate for 3-4 hours before adding a large dollop of whipping cream in center of cake and add a marschino cherry, and then sprinkle with powdered sugar. Keep covered in fridge until ready to serve.
- 7. You may use blueberries, raspberries or the maraschino cherry for the topping of the whipped cream..I had the cherry on hand so that is what I used...layer several different fruits if desired!
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use buttermilk instead of milk in the cake batter.
- To make the glaze, use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
- If you don't have sour cream, you can substitute it with Greek yogurt.
- To make the cake ahead of time, bake it and let it cool completely. Then, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- When you're ready to serve the cake, let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for several hours.
Conclusion:
This creamy lemon cake is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's moist, flavorful, and topped with a tangy lemon glaze. With its bright citrus flavor and creamy texture, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
