This modified recipe is the most preferred by my hubby and friends. The first time, I made lemon cake I don’t think I deviated from the recipe, that last time before this present deviation- I was heavy handed with the lemon juice, which was a hit [pictured in the photo gallery as a Bundt cake]. This time around, I decided to tweak it a little to see if it would still appeal to my hubby and hopefully, friends.
Don’t forget to mise all ingredients before you start
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted Butter (softened @ room temperature)
- 4 Eggs
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 7 TBS Fresh Lemon Juice (I used the not so tart small hybrid lemon fruits)
- 1 1/4 Ground Almond Meal/Flour [sifted, ground your almonds if it takes your fancy]
- 6 TBS Dried Tart Cherries (Soaked overnight in Orange Juice)
- Zest of 4 small lemons
- 2 TBS Poppy Seeds
- 1 cup self-rising flours (sifted)
Syrup
- 1/4 cup and 1TBS granulated sugar
- 1 TBS cherry flavored Orange Juice (OJ was used to soak the cherries overnight)
- 7 TBS Fresh Lemon Juice
Lemon Icing
- Zest of 3 Lemons
- 1 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar (Icing sugar)
- 3 TBS Fresh Lemon Juice
What you’ll need
What I did:
To make the icing, I added the lemon juice to the sugar and lemon zest in the pan until smooth. I poured the icing gently on the middle of the almost cooled cake from the middle to let it drizzle all around.
