Time 50m

Yield One 9-by-13-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup/227 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks), softened, plus more for preparing the pan
3 cups/385 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for preparing the pan
1 1/3 cups whole milk
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups/403 grams granulated sugar
4 teaspoons packed finely grated lemon zest
4 large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup/170 grams unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), softened
2 cups/246 grams confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Pinch kosher salt
4 to 5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, butter and flour the paper.
  • In a measuring cup with a spout, combine the milk and lemon juice. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter, sugar and lemon zest until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing for about 30 seconds after each. Scrape down bottom and sides of the mixer to ensure the mixture is well combined.
  • With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the flour mixture and milk mixture to the bowl in three additions. Mix until just combined, then use a rubber spatula to finish mixing the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top and tap the pan on the counter a few times to release any large air pockets. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until puffed and golden and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the cake completely on a rack before frosting.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the frosting: Combine the butter, confectioners' sugar, lemon zest and a pinch of salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low until combined, then turn the mixer up to medium-high and stream in 3 tablespoons of lemon juice. Whip the frosting until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, adding additional lemon juice as necessary until frosting is smooth and spreadable.
  • Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and serve. Store leftover cake at room temperature, covered for up to 2 days.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 2 (8-inch) loaves

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided
4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1/3 cup grated lemon zest (6 to 8 large lemons)
3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, divided
3/4 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
3 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 2 (8 1/2 by 4 1/4 by 2 1/2-inch) loaf pans. You may also line the bottom with parchment paper, if desired.
  • Cream the butter and 2 cups granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. With the mixer on medium speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time, and the lemon zest.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, combine 1/4 cup lemon juice, the buttermilk, and vanilla. Add the flour and buttermilk mixtures alternately to the batter, beginning and ending with the flour. Divide the batter evenly between the pans, smooth the tops, and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until a cake tester comes out clean.
  • Combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 1/2 cup lemon juice in a small saucepan and cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves. When the cakes are done, allow to cool for 10 minutes. Remove the cakes from the pans and set them on a rack set over a tray or sheet pan; spoon the lemon syrup over them. Allow the cakes to cool completely.
  • For the glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar and the lemon juice in a bowl, mixing with a wire whisk until smooth. Pour over the tops of the cakes and allow the glaze to drizzle down the sides.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Pan: Line a 13x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides. This will make it easy to lift the cake out of the pan after baking.
  • Cream Together Butter and Sugar: Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a tender and moist cake.
  • Add Eggs One at a Time: Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each one is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  • Mix in Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Pour Batter into Prepared Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the cake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Make the Lemon Glaze: While the cake is baking, make the lemon glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and milk until smooth.
  • Glaze the Cake: Once the cake is completely cooled, pour the lemon glaze over the top and let it set.

Conclusion:

This lemon glazed sheet cake is a delightful dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make, moist and flavorful, and the lemon glaze adds a refreshing touch.
