Ligurian Lemon Cake image

This is the perfect summer cake, bright and sunny with the lemon flavors being the star, and I am not ready to give into fall yet. I am sure you can still find raspberries at the market, I was able to find them without a problem. The raspberries make it just a little more special than your typical lemon cake.

Time 1h5m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

7 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more, room temperature, for pan
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
1 1/2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1 cup granulated sugar
2 lemons, zest of
4 large eggs, room temperature
3 tablespoons milk, room temperature
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 pint fresh raspberry
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons whole milk
1 -2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Butter a 10-inch round cake or springform pan, dust with flour, and tap out any excess.
  • In a large bowl, sift flour and baking powder; set aside.
  • Place sugar and lemon zest in the bowl of an electric mixer; rub the ingredients together between your fingers until the sugar is moist, grainy, and has absorbed as much of the zest as possible. Return bowl to mixer.
  • Using the whisk attachment, beat in eggs on medium high until the mixture is pale and thick, about 3 minutes.
  • With the mixer on lowest speed, beat in milk. Add reserved flour mixture; beat until incorporated. Add lemon juice, melted butter, and olive oil; beat until blended.
  • Pour about one third of the batter into the prepared pan; there should be just enough batter to form a thin, even layer. Arrange the raspberries on top of the batter. Pour the remaining batter over the raspberries, and use a rubber spatula to gently spread batter so that it runs down between the berries and just covers them (you'll have a very thin top layer of batter).
  • Bake cake until it's golden and pulling away from the sides of the pan, and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
  • Let cool for about 15 minutes before removing the cake ring.

This cake is a great way to use up extra lemons. I always have a few lemons on hand, so this is a perfect recipe for me.

I'm going to try making this cake with different citrus fruits, like oranges or grapefruit. I think it would be a great way to change up the flavor.

This cake is the perfect way to use up leftover lemons. I always have a few lemons on hand, so this recipe is a great way to use them up before they go bad.

I'm not a big fan of lemon desserts, but this cake was surprisingly good. It's not too sweet and the lemon flavor is very subtle.

I think this cake would be better with a glaze or frosting. It's a bit dry on its own.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake didn't turn out as moist as I expected. It was still tasty, but it wasn't as good as I hoped.

This cake is a bit denser than I expected, but it's still very delicious. I think it would be even better with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.
