Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

Cake
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest
3/4 cup buttermilk (you can make your own: 3/4 cup milk + about a tablespoon lemon juice, let sit for about 10 minutes, done!)
Glaze
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)
3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and butter an 8-inch x 8-inch baking pan.
  • Pour the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt directly into the pan, and whisk it all together well.
  • In a small bowl, beat together the egg and the lemon zest.
  • Using the back of a spoon, make two wells in the flour mixture.
  • Pour the egg and lemon zest into one of the wells in the flour mixture.
  • Pour the melted butter into the other well.
  • Pour the buttermilk all over the top.
  • Whisk it all together so that it's well blended. There may be a few lumps - no biggie!
  • Bake for about 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
  • Make the glaze: Mix together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and melted butter.
  • Pour the glaze over the cooled cake.
  • Cut into squares and serve with whipping cream or vanilla ice cream.

Tips & Conclusion

Tips:

  • For a truly moist lemon cake, use fresh lemon juice and zest.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Be sure to sift the flour before measuring it. This will help ensure that the cake is light and airy.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help prevent the cake from sinking in the middle.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion: The super moist lemon cake recipe is a classic for a reason. It is easy to make, moist, and delicious. With its bright lemon flavor, this cake is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are serving it for a special occasion or simply enjoying it as a snack, this cake is sure to please everyone.
