Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1½ cup granulated sugar
2¼ cups Butter (4 ½ sticks, softened)
6 eggs
2 tablespoons lemon zest (approximately 2 zested lemons)
4 tablespoons lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
2 tablespoons milk
2¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 lb fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced leaving a couple for the top)
1¼ cups heavy whipping cream (UK-Double Cream)
6 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon skimmed milk powder

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C or 350°F and grease two 8-inch cake pans.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Mix in the eggs one at a time followed by the lemon zest, lemon juice, and milk.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix until combined.
  • Split the batter between 2 greased 8 inch round pans, and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.

  • Place one layer of the cooled cake on a cake plate. Cover with the sliced strawberries.
  • To make the cream, add all of the remaining ingredients into a food processor or mixer. Whip until thick (You'll know it's ready to use when you run a spoon through it and it doesn't collapse into the crevice).

STRAWBERRY-LEMON LOAF CAKE



Strawberry-Lemon Loaf Cake image

This cake is summer in a loaf pan. When baked, strawberries can become sour and a little gummy. Here, berries are macerated with sugar first to remove some of their liquid and concentrate their flavor. (Don't use frozen strawberries. Keep those for your smoothie!) The lemon icing adds a nice finish, to balance and bolster the cake's tart-sweetness. Have it as dessert or a snack, but it's especially good at breakfast with hot coffee or tea.

Time 1h30m

Yield One 9-inch loaf

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup/150 grams diced strawberries
1 cup/200 grams plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups/192 grams all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1 cup/227 grams sour cream, at room temperature
1/2 cup/110 grams vegetable oil
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup/123 grams confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, toss the strawberries with 1 tablespoon sugar to macerate while you prepare the cake batter.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, lemon zest, baking powder, salt and remaining 1 cup sugar. Whisk to combine. In a second large bowl, combine the sour cream, oil, eggs, lemon juice and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and stir gently to mix. Lift the macerated berries out of their liquid and add them to the batter. Gently fold in the berries until evenly incorporated.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes. If it looks to be browning on top too much, tent with aluminum foil. Cool it in the pan on a rack for about 10 minutes, then unmold the cake carefully and transfer to the rack to cool completely.
  • Make the glaze: In a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar with the lemon zest and juice and stir until smooth. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake. Let stand until set.

STRAWBERRY LEMONADE CAKE



Strawberry Lemonade Cake image

A great summertime layer cake full of strawberry lemonade flavor!

Provided by Kim

Categories     Desserts     Fruit Dessert Recipes     Strawberry Dessert Recipes

Time 1h50m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 21

5 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
¼ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups white sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 eggs, room temperature
1 ½ tablespoons lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup sour cream, room temperature
¼ cup lemon juice
1 ½ cups unsalted butter, softened
5 cups powdered sugar, or more as needed
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest
¼ teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Place strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice for the reduction into an electric blender and puree until smooth.
  • Pour strawberry mixture into a large saucepan and simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, until reduced by 1/2, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature, 10 to 15 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup plus 5 tablespoons for cake and frosting; remainder will be used as cake filling.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9-inch cake pans and line with parchment paper.
  • Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Beat sugar and butter using an electric mixer in a large bowl until creamy. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Mix in lemon zest and vanilla extract. Stir in 1/3 of the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in 1/2 of the sour cream, and 1/2 of the lemon juice. Repeat alternating additions of flour mixture and sour cream plus lemon juice until just combined, making sure not to overmix.
  • Place 1/2 of the batter into a separate bowl. Fold in 1/2 cup strawberry reduction. Place dollops of both lemon and strawberry-lemon batters alternately into the prepared cake pans. Swirl batters together with a butter knife.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes in the pans before removing and transferring cakes to a wire rack to cool completely, 15 to 30 minutes.
  • While cakes are cooling, beat butter for frosting with an electric mixer in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in powdered sugar 1 cup at a time until incorporated. Mix in 5 tablespoons strawberry reduction, lemon juice, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and salt until combined. Pour in heavy cream and beat until frosting is smooth and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add additional powdered sugar if too thin, or additional heavy cream if too thick, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  • Place 1 cooled cake layer on a serving platter and cover top with a thin layer of frosting. Pipe a border around the edge of the cake layer using a piping bag filled with frosting, leaving the center open. Pour remaining strawberry reduction into the center of the border, making sure it doesn't overflow over the sides. Place second cake layer on top and continue to frost as desired. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

LEMON SPONGE CAKE WITH GLAZED STRAWBERRIES



Lemon Sponge Cake with Glazed Strawberries image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h12m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup sifted matzo cake meal, plus extra, for flouring the pan
9 eggs, separated, whites at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup ground almonds
1/2 cup chopped almonds
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 lemon, zested
3/4 cup kosher for Passover confectioners' sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
1 cup apricot jam
1 1/2 tablespoons water
3 cups strawberries, green parts trimmed off, halved

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9 or 10-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Flour the sides of the pan with sifted matzo cake meal.
  • In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add 1/2 cup of the sugar and continue whipping just until stiff and glossy, about 30 seconds more.
  • In another bowl, whip the egg yolks with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Fold in the egg whites. Gently fold in the ground almonds, chopped almonds, matzo meal, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until dry and spongy in the center, about 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes in the pan, then remove the sides of the pan and let cool completely on a wire rack. The cake will fall somewhat.
  • Make the glaze: In a small bowl, stir the ingredients together until smooth, adding lemon juice as needed until the glaze is pour-able. Set the wire rack holding the cake on a sheet pan. Drizzle the glaze generously over the top of the cake, letting it trickle down the sides. Using a flexible spatula or pastry brush, gently spread the glaze over the sides of the cake, reusing any glaze that drips onto the baking sheet. Let set for at least 30 minutes before serving, or until the glaze is hardened. Transfer the cake to a serving platter, removing the pan bottom and parchment paper if desired.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring the jam and water to a boil, stirring to break up any lumps. Working quickly, add the strawberries all at once and fold together with a spatula until evenly coated. Pour into the sunken center of the cake and gently spread into a circle on the surface, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border all around. Let cool until set, about 30 minutes. Use a very sharp knife for slicing the cake.

LEMON SPONGE CAKE



Lemon sponge cake image

Top this citrussy sponge with lemon icing and candied peel. Greek yogurt creates a cake that's extra moist and tangy, for an irresistible teatime treat

Provided by Esther Clark

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield Serves 10-12

Number Of Ingredients 11

175g unsalted butter , softened, plus extra for the tin
175g golden caster sugar
3 large eggs
3 large unwaxed lemons , zested, plus 4-4 ½ tbsp juice
250g self-raising flour
½ tsp baking powder
100g Greek yogurt
400g icing sugar
lemon zest or candied peel, to serve (optional)
2 large lemons
200g granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 3. Butter a deep, loose-bottomed, 18cm cake tin and line the base with baking parchment.
  • Beat the butter and caster sugar together with an electric whisk until fluffy and pale in colour. Crack the eggs in one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the lemon zest. Fold in the flour, baking powder and ½ tsp salt, then fold in the yogurt.
  • Spoon the mixture into the lined tin, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the centre of the oven for 50-55 mins, or until golden brown on top and firm to the touch. Cool in the tin for 10 mins before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Will keep in an airtight container for up to four days, or in the freezer for up to a month.
  • When you're ready to decorate, sieve the icing sugar into a bowl and beat in enough of the lemon juice to create a thick icing. Set the cake on a serving plate or cake stand, then spoon over the icing, allowing it to drip down the sides a little. Top with the lemon zest or candied peel, if using (see below), and cut into generous wedges to serve.
  • To make candied lemon peel, peel large, wide strips from the lemons using a vegetable peeler. Remove any pith with a knife, then julienne the peel into very thin matchsticks. Tip the granulated sugar into a saucepan with 200ml water and set over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Add the lemon peel and simmer gently for 15 mins, then scoop the peel out using a slotted spoon and set on a piece of kitchen paper to cool. Use to decorate the top of your cake.
