A sunny lemon-flavored cake is just the dessert to brighten up a gray winter day (or any day). Lemon peel provides a nice zing in every bite. A light glaze gives the tall, golden cake a delicate crust. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
2 cups sugar |
4 eggs |
1-1/2 teaspoons lemon extract |
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup 2% milk |
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel |
glaze: |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
1 tablespoon water |
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract |
3/4 cup sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in extracts. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition. Stir in lemon peel.
2. Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan. Bake at 350° for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; invert onto a wire rack. Cool 10 minutes longer.
3. Place waxed paper under rack. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over the warm cake. Cool completely before serving. Yield: 12-16 servings.
