Time 1h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 lemon, zested and juiced
3 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 pinch ground ginger, or to taste
½ cup milk, divided
½ cup whisky

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a cake pan.
  • Beat sugar and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; add eggs and beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Mix lemon zest into creamed butter mixture.
  • Sift cake flour into a separate bowl. Add baking powder, salt, and ginger; stir. Beat 1/3 of the flour mixture into the creamed butter mixture on low speed until flour mixture is completely incorporated, about 1 minute.
  • Stir lemon juice and 2 tablespoons milk into flour-butter mixture; mix on low speed until completely incorporated. Stir the remaining milk and whisky, alternating with the flour mixture, into the flour-butter mixture until batter is well mixed. Scrape batter into the prepared cake pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The cake was dry and dense, and the lemon flavor was barely noticeable.
