I’m not a fan of lemon cakes, so i have no idea why i decided to make this. Saw the recipe on instagram @mattadlard and thought it looked really good.
Tastes amazing, but it was too sweet so i adjusted it a little.
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 175C
- Whisk eggs and sugar in a bowl for 4-5 mins until fluffy and pale
- Add in your sour cream, mix
- Drizzle in your oil while whisking
- Add in your lemon zest and lemon extract if available
- Add in your dry ingredients and whisk until mixed. Don’t over mix
- Pour into greased loaf pan and bake for 50 mins or until toothpick comes out clean
- Mix all glaze ingredients until they form a glue like consistency
- Once cooked entirely, drizzle on your loaf
Notes
I skipped the sugar syrup, I hate the consistency it gives the cake and the after taste. But if you want it just boil sugar, water, and lemon juice and pour it over the loaf while still warm.
Simple and straight forward recipe. Did it today without the glazing though.
My first ever cake !!!!
thank you! your recipes are always very clear. ( not to mention yummy)
