Lemon cake has a rich flavor and incredible citrus aroma. It can be easily and quite simply prepared at home, spending a little time.
It is necessary
- • 1, 5 glasses of wheat flour;
- • 4 chicken eggs;
- • 10 g of potato starch;
- • 120 g butter;
- • 2 tablespoons of pure water;
- • ½ teaspoon of baking soda;
- • 3 medium sized lemons;
- • 1 full glass of granulated sugar;
- • 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar.
Instructions
Step 1
Add salt and baking soda to the wheat flour, and then sift everything together. The softened butter must be chopped with a knife, and the resulting mass must be mixed with sifted flour.
Step 2
After that, you need to knead the dough. It should be quite elastic. It is not necessary to knead it for a long time, as the butter can melt. The finished dough is placed in a plastic bag, tied tightly and put on the refrigerator shelf. There it must stand for at least 40 minutes.
Step 3
Put the foil in the baking dish and place the previously rolled dough in the same place. Make the sides not very large. Place the mold in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 25 minutes.
Step 4
Rinse citrus fruits and pat dry with paper towels. Then, using a fine grater, remove the zest from them. After that, squeeze all the juice from the lemons into a separate bowl.
Step 5
Break the eggs into a cup and separate the whites from the yolks in any way convenient for you. Transfer the yolks to a deep cup and add granulated sugar to them. After that, they should be thoroughly beaten with a mixer until the mass significantly increases in size. Then pour lemon zest, potato starch into the whipped yolks, and pour in the juice. Then everything is thoroughly whipped again.
Step 6
The resulting mass must be poured into a saucepan and heated over low heat until thickened, stirring constantly. After the lemon cream has cooled, it must be evenly distributed over the cake.
Step 7
Pour icing sugar into the proteins, and then beat everything with a mixer. As a result, a fairly dense foam should form. The resulting mass must be evenly distributed over the lemon cream.
Step 8
Place the cake in a 180-degree oven for another quarter of an hour. After that, turn off the oven, and slightly open its lid. Dessert should stay there for another 10 minutes. The cooled cake should be divided into portions.
