Lemon Tea Cake
« on: September 10, 2014, 12:02:42 pm »
A readers recipe found in super food ideas magazine that I made today for our current forum challenge. A moist cake that is perfect if you have an abundance of lemons.

Ingredients:
Rind from 2 lemons (approx 20g)
150g butter
3 eggs
100g milk
100g lemon juice
280g castor sugar
200g plain flour
150g self raising flour

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Grease a bundt tin or kugglehoff tin.
Use a peeler to remove rind from lemons and blitz in TM bowl 10 seconds, speed 9.
Scrape down, add butter and melt 2 minutes, 80°C, speed 2.
Add eggs, milk and lemon juice mix 5 seconds, speed 4.
Add sugar and both flours mix 10 seconds, speed 5.
Scrape down sides and mix again 5 seconds, speed 5.
Pour into prepared tin and bake 40-45 minutes.

Thanks Kimmy. For once I do have plenty of lemons.

That looks great Kimmy. I got given two huge bags of lemons on the weekend so might need to give this a try to pass on to Mum & Dad.

Kimmy I realised today that I have my flours in the wrong containers. I had another cake flop and realised what I'd done. I will make this again now that I have sorted out my stupidity.  :-\

Well at least you've gotten to the bottom of it cookie. I was a little worried that I had typed things in wrong. I had a few risottos flop last month until I realized that I had put basmati rice in the arborio rice container. Easy to do when you are busy!
