This cake is food porn all the way to heaven. Perfect texture, perfect sweetness, perfect lemon touch.. Just perfect everything.

 

It is especially the perfect cake to end a summer day like this one.

I went for a couple of swims with my class in the sun and we also had a small barbeque on the beach. We all had an amazing time. If you have not been swimming yet, you should definitely go as soon as you can. It´s so much fun and so relaxing... Suummmer here I come!

 

Back to the cake. I know the cake sounds and is very easy to make. But please still pay attention to recipe and follow it properly. Because there sure is cake, but there is also amazing cake. And if you want that perfect texture... then... you know what you have to do. This is also why the following recipe contains the amounts in grams.

But hey, take care of my little cake recipe. I love it!

 

200 g butter

250 g sugar

lemon zest of 1 lemon

4 eggs

125 g flour

125 g potato flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

 

200 g icing sugar

4 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon water

 

Beat butter until creamy. Add sugar and zest.

 

Add the eggs one after another and mix to a smooth batter.

 

Combine the potato flour, the flour and the baking powder. Mix gently but properly with the egg batter.

 

Fill into a buttered baking tin and put the cake into the oven at 180 degrees for about 55-60 minutes.

 

Let the cake cool about 5 minutes and turn it out on a cake dish. Let it cool completly.

 

Make the icing by blending the icing sugar, the lemon juice and the water together.

Drizzle all of the icing on the cake and let it sit for at least half an hour.

 

The cake is still yummy after half a week - if you keep it covered in room temperature.

 

ENJOY!
