Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, slightly softened
4 eggs
1 ¾ cups self-rising flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 lemon, zested
1 lemon, zested and juiced
7 tablespoons white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Measure ingredients into bowls. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • Combine 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar and butter in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until creamy and pale. Add 1 egg at a time, beating until the batter returns to a uniform pale color before adding the next. Sift in flour gradually. Fold with a wooden spoon to be sure flour is combined. Add baking powder and lemon zest.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan, being careful not to press it down.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Try not to open the oven door early to avoid collapsing the fluffy cake.
  • Juice the zested lemon into a small bowl. Add the zest and juice of the second lemon. Stir in 7 tablespoons sugar until dissolved. Pour glaze over the warm cake and leave to cool in the pan; glaze will harden as the cake cools.

Time 2h30m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
5 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
3 sticks (1 1/2 cups) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
Zest of 3 lemons
6 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 10-cup nonstick bundt pan generously with cooking spray.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl and stir to combine.
  • Cream the butter, granulated sugar and lemon zest in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed until lightened, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one a time, making sure each is fully combined before adding the next and stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl once. Turn the speed to low and add half of the flour mixture; mix until combined. Add the milk and vanilla and mix until combined, then scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the remaining flour mixture and mix until combined, then turn the speed up to medium and mix until the batter is smooth, a few seconds.
  • Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a tester inserted in the center of a side comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes, then unmold onto the rack and let cool completely.
  • For the glaze: Combine the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on low speed until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice and mix until smooth and pourable but not runny; add the remaining tablespoon of lemon juice if needed. Pour the glaze evenly over the cake and let drip down the sides.

Categories     Lemon Cake

Time 1h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup white sugar
2 large eggs, beaten
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
3 medium lemons, zested and juiced
½ cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Beat butter and sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift flour and baking powder together and fold into the batter until well blended. Add lemon zest and juice and mix well. Spoon batter into the prepared loaf tin and level the top with a knife.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cake begins to turn golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and place tin on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemons provide the best flavor for the drizzle. 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 will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a bundt pan: A bundt pan is the traditional pan for lemon drizzle cake. It gives the cake a beautiful shape and allows the drizzle to evenly coat the cake.
  • Make sure the cake is completely cool before drizzling: If the cake is still warm, the drizzle will soak into the cake too much and make it soggy. Let the cake cool completely before drizzling.
  • Serve the cake with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream: Lemon drizzle cake is delicious on its own, but it's even better with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Mum's Quick & Easy Throw-It-All-In Lemon Drizzle Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist texture, tangy lemon flavor, and sweet drizzle, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
