Yield 12 People

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 3/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour, (for streusel)
3/4 cup(s) packed light-brown sugar, (for streusel)
1 teaspoon(s) coarse salt, (for streusel)
6 ounce(s) (3/4 cup) cold unsalted butter, (for streusel)
5 Meyer lemons, cut into paper-thin slices, ends discarded
2 cup(s) all-purpose flour, (for cake)
1 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) coarse salt, (for cake)
4 ounce(s) (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan, (for cake)
1 cup(s) granulated sugar, (for cake)
3 tablespoon(s) finely grated Meyer lemon zest (from 4 to 5 lemons)
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
1 cup(s) sour cream
1 cup(s) confectioners' sugar, (for glaze)
3 to 4 tablespoons Meyer lemon juice

Steps:

  • 1.Make the streusel: Mix together flour, brown sugar, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut butter into the flour mixture until small to medium clumps form. Cover, and refrigerate until ready to use (up to 3 days). 2.Make the cake: Cook lemon slices in a medium saucepan of simmering water for 1 minute. Drain, and repeat. Arrange lemon slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. 3.Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch angel food cake pan. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Beat butter, granulated sugar, and lemon zest with a mixer on medium speed in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. With the mixer running, add eggs, 1 at a time, then the vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Add the flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with sour cream. 4.Spoon 1/2 of the batter evenly into cake pan. Arrange 1/2 of the lemon slices in a single layer over the batter. Spread remaining batter evenly over the top. Cover with the remaining lemon slices in a single layer. Sprinkle the chilled streusel evenly over the batter. 5.Bake until cake is golden brown and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack set over a baking sheet, and let cool in pan for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the pan, and remove outer ring. Let cool on rack for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the center tube. Slide 2 wide spatulas between the bottom of the cake and the pan, and lift cake to remove from the center tube. Let cool completely on rack. 6.Make the glaze: Just before serving, stir together confectioners' sugar and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Drizzle over cooled cake, letting excess drip down the sides. Let glaze set before slicing, about 5 minutes. (Cake can be stored for up to 3 days. The lemon flavor will intensify with time.)
