Ingredients
– 4 eggs
– 150g of sugar
– 100g butter
– 1 lemon
– 100ml of milk
– 250g of wheat flour
– 1 tablespoon baking yeast
– 1 pinch of salt
Lets go cook
Time needed: 1 hour.
– First, we mount the whites to the point of snow.
In a large container, we put the egg whites, half the sugar and the pinch of salt. We save the yolks in another container for later. Then we beat it with some rods until we get the point of snow and we reserve it.
– Next, we mix the yolks with the rest of the ingredients of the lemon cake.
Heat the butter a little until it is as if it were ointment. We put it together with the yolks, the milk, the rest of the sugar, the lemon juice and the zest of its skin. Then we beat it with some rods until everything is well mixed.
– We add to this mixture, the sifted flour and yeast
In a sieve, we put the flour and yeast. We sprinkle it over this mixture and stir to integrate it. Afterwards, we dumped everything on the snow point that we had reserved. We mix it with a spatula, making enveloping movements, until we have a homogeneous mass.
– Now it’s time to bake the lemon cake.
Finally, we put the dough in a mold lined with greaseproof paper. We put it in the oven, previously heated to 180ºC, and leave it here for 35-40 minutes. After that time, we prick it with a toothpick to check if it is cooked. If it comes out clean, it is done.
