Lemon Butter Cake

Here is another variation of my ‘Basic Butter Cake’. Today I added Lemon. Lemon flavoured Butter Cake tastes better with Lemon Icing. Lemon Icing can be made with Icing Sugar and Lemon Juice, but you can add a small amount of melted Butter. Be aware that this cake is pretty high in calories.

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Preheat oven to 170°C. Line the base and sides of a cake tin with baking paper.

* Step 2

Beat softened Butter in a mixing bowl with a whisk until smooth. Add Sugar and Salt, and beat until creamy. Add Eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add Lemon Zest and mix to combine.

* Step 3

Add Buttermilk, Lemon Juice and Self-Raising Flour, and mix well. Spoon the batter into the tin, spread evenly, and smooth the surface.

* Step 4

Bake for 30 minutes or until cooked through. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.

* Step 5

When the cake is completely cooled, make Lemon Icing. To make Lemon Icing, mix Icing Sugar and Lemon Juice in a small bowl. Add extra Lemon Juice as required, but add a very small amount at a time.

* Step 6

*Note: You can add Butter to the Icing. Add 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice and 1 tablespoon melted Butter to Icing Sugar.

* Step 7

Pour the Lemon Icing over the completely cooled cake, and spread to coat the cake. You can coat all over if you have enough Icing. Today I coated top side only.
