Time 1h35m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup granulated sugar
3 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
4 medium eggs
1/2 cup creme fraiche
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
3 lemons, zest of, grated
6 tablespoons butter, melted and slightly cooled
1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 lemon, juice of

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch loaf pan.
  • To prepare the cake: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment, combine the sugar, flour, and baking powder on the lowest speed. Add the eggs and continue mixing until the mixture forms a smooth paste. Mix in the crème fraiche, lemon juice, lemon zest, and melted butter. Pour the batter into the buttered loaf pan and transfer to the center rack of the oven.
  • Bake for 60 to 65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a rack to cool.
  • To prepare the glaze: In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar and lemon juice until the sugar dissolves. Brush the top of the cake with the glaze while the cake is still warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemons provide the best flavor and aroma to the cake. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Don't overcook the cake: The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overcooking the cake can result in a dry, crumbly texture.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.

Conclusion:

This rich and moist lemon breakfast cake is a perfect way to start your day. The fragrant lemon flavor is perfectly balanced by the sweet and creamy frosting. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.

Whether you're looking for a special occasion cake or a simple breakfast treat, this lemon breakfast cake is the perfect choice. It's easy to make, delicious, and sure to impress.
