Open in Pepper →A Lemon Cake Always Gets Eaten
Chocolate is fine, but a lemon cake is the one that disappears off the table first. It's sweet without being heavy, it keeps well on the counter, and it tastes like spring even in February.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these when there's a church potluck, a birthday at the office, or company coming and no time to fuss with layers and frosting.
Every recipe here is a lemon cake worth making twice, from the Ritz Carlton 1920's Lemon Pound Cake and a doctored-up Lemon Bundt Cake to Blackberry Lemon Cake Roll, Raspberry Lemon Cake, Cranberry-Lemon Bundt Cake, and an Iced Lemon Loaf Cake.
Quick Tips
- 1
Zest before you juice
Grate the zest off the lemons first while they're firm — one lemon gives about a tablespoon of zest and 2 to 3 tablespoons of juice.
- 2
Start with room temp eggs
Set eggs and butter out 30 to 45 minutes ahead so the batter creams smooth instead of curdling.
- 3
Grease the bundt pan well
Butter every crease and dust with flour, then cool the cake 10 to 15 minutes before turning it out.
- 4
Poke and soak the glaze
While the cake is still warm, poke holes with a skewer and spoon on lemon glaze so it soaks in instead of running off.
