LEMON CUSTARD CAKE



Lemon Custard Cake image

This cake is a three part process but it moves along rather quickly. I started with an eggless cake base, layered with a refreshing lemon custard, and finally, I topped it all off with fresh whipped cream. The result was enchanting and delightful. This certainly is not a 'heavy' dessert which is refreshing after the...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 18

eggless vanilla cake:
1 cup all purpose flour
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
pinch of salt
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ - ¾ cup milk
1 tablespoon vinegar
lemon custard:
1 egg
4 tablespoons sugars
zest and juice of 1 large lemon
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
whipped cream:
1 cup wheavy cream
1 teaspoon confectioner's sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Eggless Vanilla Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix in oil and vanilla until a thick batter has formed. Add milk. Start with ½ cup. If the batter still seems a little think, add another ¼ cup. Make sure to whisk thoroughly so there are no clumps. Lastly, add in vinegar. Pour cake batter into a prepare 8-inch cake pan. Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until cake is golden and the tester comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack before transferring to a cake plate. Using a serrated knife, carefully slice cake in half. If the center still feels warm, leave to cool completely for an extra 15 minutes or so. Lemon Custard: In a saucepan or double broiler, combine sugar, lemon juice and zest over medium-low heat or simmering water. In a bowl, beat one egg and add to the lemon/sugar mixture. Stir constantly, until mixture has thickened (about 8 minutes). Alternate and take on/off heat while whisking. Remove custard from heat and stir in butter. Set aside to cool completely and then chill in the refrigerator for one hour. In a medium bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream with a teaspoon of confectioners' sugar. Assembly: Spread the chilled Lemon Custard on one layer of the cake. Spoon a dollop of whipped cream in the center and place the other cake on top. Use the remaining whipped cream and spread over the cake entirely. Grate a chocolate candy for garnish (I grated a Ferrero Rocher).

Tips:

  • For a richer custard, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or lemon zest to the custard for extra flavor.
  • If you don't have a lemon, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
  • To make sure the custard is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the custard is done.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before serving. This will help the custard to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

Lemon custard cake is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy custard filling and tangy lemon flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone. The best part is that it is relatively easy to make, so you can enjoy this delicious treat without spending hours in the kitchen.
