Delicious recipe that is sure to bring a smile to your face ! I have shared this with many Bake Sales and each cake has brought in BIG BUCKS !!! :) ENJOY ! Ingredients:
3 cups flour |
2 cups white sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 1/2 cups butter, softened |
1/3 cup buttermilk, at room temperature |
6 large eggs |
2 teaspoons lemon extract |
2 1/2 tablespoons grated lemon rind |
3/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice |
1/2 cup sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Grease (or use Pam spray) and flour a 3 quart bunt pan.
3. Blend flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in mixer on low speed.
4. Add butter, buttermilk, and 3 eggs.
5. Beat on low until moistened.
6. Increase speed to high and beat for two minutes more scraping down sides of bowl.
7. Add lemon extract and lemon zest, I also squeeze in a lemon, and blend at medium speed.
8. Add the remaining 3 eggs one at a time beating at high speed for 30 seconds after each addition.
9. Pour batter into prepared baking pan.
10. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
11. While cake is baking, prepare lemon glaze:.
12. In small saucepan, heat lemon and sugar over low heat.
13. Stir constantly until sugar dissolves.
14. When cake is done, remove from oven and leave in pan to cook.
15. With a toothpick or a skewer, poke holes in the surface of the cake (in pan) and pour half of lemon glaze over it while it is cooling in pan. I always make extra glaze for this part.
16. Cool in pan for about 15 minutes, then invert onto cooling rack.
17. Spoon the rest of the glaze on top of the cake.
18. *Saturating this cake with the lemon glaze is the key to its moistness and excellent taste !
19. ** THERE IS NO NEED TO COAT THIS CAKE WITH POWDERED SUGAR. IT WILL ONLY MAKE A MESS DUE TO THE GLAZE.
20. **ALSO, BE SURE TO LINE YOUR COOLING AREA WITH PARCHMENT OR SARAN WRAP WHILE GLAZING THE CAKE(S)
21. ENJOY.
