Categories     dessert

Time 1h55m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Cooking spray
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
6 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup sour cream
3 large eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
Juice of 3 lemons
Grated zest of 1 lemon
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, cut into cubes

Steps:

  • For the spice cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the inside of a 10-inch Bundt pan with cooking spray.
  • Cream the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  • Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.
  • Add the eggs to the creamed butter, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add the sour cream, alternating with the flour mixture, beginning and ending with the flour and beating until no flour is visible -- don't overbeat.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan; tap the pan on the counter to remove any air pockets. Bake for 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool slightly in the pan, 5 to 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack while still warm.
  • For the lemon sauce: Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar in the top of a double boiler over medium heat. Stir in the lemon juice, zest and butter. Cook until thickened, whisking often, about 30 minutes.
  • Serve the cake warm or room temperature with the lemon sauce.

RHUBARB & LEMON CURD CAKE



Rhubarb & lemon curd cake image

A lemon sponge cake dotted with tender pink pieces of rhubarb and topped with decadent cream frosting

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

225g unsalted butter , softened, plus extra for the tin
225g caster sugar
zest 1 lemon
4 medium eggs at room temperature, beaten
75g ground almond
200g self-raising flour
140g forced rhubarb , washed and cut into small chunks
1 tbsp demerara sugar
75ml double cream
3 tbsp lemon curd , plus extra for drizzling

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Lightly butter a deep, round 20cm cake tin and line the base with a circle of non-stick baking parchment.
  • Place the butter in a large bowl and beat with an electric whisk until light and fluffy, then add the caster sugar and lemon zest and beat again. Gradually add the eggs to the mixture, beating well with each addition, until fully combined. The mixture will begin to look glossy - if at any stage the mixture curdles, beat in a spoonful of ground almonds and continue to add the egg until it is all amalgamated.
  • Stir in the ground almonds, then the flour, and fold everything carefully together using a large spoon. Fold through half the rhubarb, then transfer the mixture into the prepared cake tin and scatter with the remaining rhubarb. Finish with the demerara sugar sprinkled on top. Bake the cake for 45 mins, or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. (This may take up to 30 mins longer depending on how much liquid the rhubarb releases.) Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly in the tin, then remove from the tin. When the cake is cold, make the topping.
  • Whip the cream in a large bowl until it forms soft peaks. In a small bowl, loosen the lemon curd with about 1 tbsp water and carefully fold it through the cream, without overworking. Spread over the cake, drizzle with a little more lemon curd and serve immediately.
