Lemon (Drizzle) Cake

I got this recipe from this book I got at Marshalls a couple weeks ago. It has fabulous, delicious pictures which always sells me! I don't like cook books without pictures!

OK, Here's the recipe. But I'm warning you right up front . . . forget about steps 6 and 7!!!

They take a really good lemon cake and make it so sour that I actually threw my first piece away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! However, my mouth still wouldn't stop puckering!!! I had to have something sweet and have it fast! But I am getting ahead of myself!

Here's the steps 1 through 5. (I refuse to tell you 6 & 7!)

Grate a rind of one lemon and squeeze the juice. Should be about 3-4 TBSP.

Grease round pan with butter and place parchment paper on bottom.

Mix dry ingredients:

1 3/4 C flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 C superfine sugar

Mix wet ingredients in a separate bowl:

4 eggs whisked

2/3 C sour cream

Grated rind of one lemon

3-4 TBSP Lemon juice

2/3 C vegetable oil

Mix all together till blended well.

Pour into cake pan and bake in a preheated oven of 350 degrees for 45-60 min.

Now, FORGET ABOUT DOING STEPS 6&7!!

I quickly frosted my cake with a butter cream frosting. It would also be very good with a cream cheese frosting but I had a can of the butter cream on hand and I needed something sweet FAST!

Now, the cake was very good, moist and delicious. After all it was my birthday cake : ))

Nummmmmmmmmm

Have a sweet Friday.
