Recipe makes a single cake, 20 x 20 x 10 cm square cake pan: Cake Batter: 250g Cake Flour 10g Baking Powder 1/2 tsp Salt 167g Softened Unsalted Butter 65g Vegetable Oil 222g White Granulated Sugar 222g Eggs 10g Vanilla Extract 177g Milk 10g Lemon Zest 50g Lemon Juice Lemon Curd: 50g Eggs (1 Medium sized) 50g White Granulated Sugar 50g Lemon Juice 7g Lemon Zest 50g Unsalted Butter Meringue: 36g Egg White (1 Large sized Egg white) 31g White Granulated Sugar Preparation: For the cake batter: 1. Preheat your oven to 170C (fan mode off) placing a baking rack at the lowest level of the oven. 2. Into a standing mixer bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter with sugar, lemon zest and salt on high speed until the mixture is light, creamy and airy. 3. Gradually add the oil until combined. 4. Mix the eggs with the milk and vanilla. then gradually add it to the butter mixture. 5. Sift the dry ingredients over the cake batter and keep mixing for about 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice and mix just until incorporated. 6. Transfer the batter into a cake pan lined with parchmet paper and bake for about 35 minutes or until a cake tester inserted to the center of the cake comes out clean. 7. Allow to cool down for 15 minutes before unmolding. Then cool down completely before icing and decorating. For the lemon curd: 1. Into a saucepan, add the eggs and sugar and whisk until combined. 2. Add the lemon juice and lemon zest and cook on medium heat until the mixture is boiling. 3. Once boiling, add the butter and whisk into the mixture until melted. Transfer to a clean bowl to cool down completely. For the meringue: Beat the egg whites with the sugar until stiff peaks. It is recommended to do this step last as soon as you are ready to decorate the cake. Assembly: 1. Spread the entire amount of lemon curd on top of the cake. Smoothen it with an offset spatula. 2. Spread the meringue on top of the lemon curd and make swirls all over. Lightly burn the meringue with a blowtorch or put it into the oven with the grill mode on for about 2 minutes. 3. Decorate with lemon slices cut into thirds and fresh rosemary / thyme leaves. . . #bakingaesthetics #baketok #cozybaking #fypbaking #cottagecorebaking #aestheticbaking #fypbaking #fallbakingrecipes #lemontok #lemoncakerecipe
