Time 50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ¾ cups cake flour
1 tablespoon lemon zest
3 teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
4 egg whites
1 ⅓ cups white sugar, divided
¾ cup butter, at room temperature
1 ½ cups milk
¼ cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • Mix together cake flour, lemon zest, baking powder, and salt.
  • Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until foamy. Gradually add 1/3 cup sugar, continuing to beat until soft peaks form.
  • Cream butter and 1 cup sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Add the flour mixture in batches, alternating with milk and lemon juice, beating batter briefly after each addition. Add lemon extract and egg whites; beat to incorporate into batter. Pour into the prepared cake pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely on wire racks before frosting.

This cake was easy to make and turned out great! I used a bundt pan and it was perfectly cooked. The lemon glaze was the perfect finishing touch.

I'm not a big fan of lemon cake, but this one was really good. It was moist and fluffy, with a bright lemon flavor. I would definitely make it again.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less sugar next time.

This cake was so disappointing. It was dry and dense, and the lemon flavor was barely there. I won't be making this again.
