Lemon cake wanna be
>A few years ago I made the perfect lemon cake, it was moist, just sweet enough, and reminiscent of the one from Starbucks.

And then I lost the recipe...since I have a guest's announcement tomorrow, I wanted to make something they don't normally eat every day, and that would be a lemon cake. Scrolling through the internet and trying to remember at least what the photo looks like I came across countless recipes with cutting variations.

Then I decided on this [one](https://www.silverspoon.co.uk/lemon-cake), all the ingredients are listed, I will just write the preparation process.

Whisk the room temperature softened butter separately with a mixer, then add the sugar and continue mixing until butter and sugar are nicely combined.

<div class="pull-right">

</div>

Sift the baking powder and flour before adding them to the mixture, continue with mixing and adding the flour slightly.

![_dsc8192.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmaK7BmzV1Horhd7Gsjzhic7wdDT8RGxcDJzCAwHREvRG7/_dsc8192.jpg)

Wash the lemons (very often I keep them in water with baking soda for a while), grate the crust, and squeeze the juice.

![_dsc8180.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmfA8T9jVmpNvCubxFww5JoXrefiU6c5X69NyZE5Bgior8/_dsc8180.jpg)

Add lemon juice and grated crust to the mixture.

![_dsc8201.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmWNRFGoe2b3tKPTZ9y4bZa62CMYLbMgXvvcy2dm2QyeLr/_dsc8201.jpg)

Now that it's all combined together, we have eggs left. I was a little confused by the recipe I found, which listed only the ingredients but not the making process, so I did it my way. Add egg by egg while whisking.

![_dsc8203.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQvPB1sZxC7Gnjqqo19khm3KGbKYFey9hrXcpUXNqw1bm/_dsc8203.jpg)

Puffy cream is what we need in the end. Grease the container, you can also use a bundt mold or any shape you have.

![_dsc8204.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmPq4ff2vgfVrLYbc25BwAW8rfzkj45SDgAoLXgxeUAp5v/_dsc8204.jpg)

Pour the mixture into the mold, shake it a couple of times on the surface so that all the dough falls nicely to the bottom, and bake it for 30 minutes on 180ºC.

![_dsc8212.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmVrLBHepKzKLpiSJiVHjSBsJj2bVMHTNBuoUhZPPj64Mn/_dsc8212.jpg)

>Failed! What the actually f***?

 I baked it longer than 30 minutes, cause I could see the dough wasn't ready all over and this is what I got.
Dough that crumbles. 



Ok, I don't have much time left, about 30 minutes before I have to go to the scheduled meeting, later I won't have time to do everything all over again, and I really don't want to throw all this effort away.

![_dsc8213.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmcWx6XCcMZuco2PjyGTBXfnFvy7ZfwexEehM1TJLBsjVR/_dsc8213.jpg)

>I want a lemon cake and I will get it even in another form!
Oh my, I was so pissed off...

This you won't find in the original recipe, so write it down in case you meet the same faith.

Lemon syrup:

100 ml water
200 gr crystal sugar
3-4 tablespoons of lemon juice

Boil the water, add the sugar, and stir until it starts to constrict.

![_dsc8216.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQmChQj8uGdLcCTnSnjadNtjpeEzM6Pb69QTnixGkXGcC/_dsc8216.jpg)

Add the lemon juice at the very end and move aside.

![_dsc8225.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQbCexJVjchJMpZ7zkQ4tTMTW714sMTcH7VKDNxQrfusA/_dsc8225.jpg)

Crush the dough with your hands, separate the portion according to the size of the crust, pour 2-3 tablespoons of syrup over each, mix and form the cake crust.

This cake does not contain any kind of creams, and I need it in this case, otherwise, the whole dessert in this form is meaningless. Luckily I had 500ml of heavy cream - in stock.

![_dsc8223.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQPq5fBgvSvesaVrg7Qf45LyyVSbzPJngCFtnVKdTs8yk/_dsc8223.jpg)

Along the way, I made a list in my head of combinations that go well with lemon, and everything that came to my mind was vanilla.

![_dsc8226.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmcJzeLbQ7PgQRpRAzfN9E1bqvZxUhyrxCz9YETB3SyRkm/_dsc8226.jpg)

>First crust formed and topped with whipped cream.

![_dsc8227.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmS19VU1MfLasTQWuhPXh1EKLbseqyC1dpW9fbUZeGkr2L/_dsc8227.jpg)

I repeated the process with syrup and portions, coated with cream, so I had a total of 3 "layers"

![_dsc8229.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmUn636PGGQ4TUrL1ucn4M83xREvc3ihsJ94LqrwwgyRrX/_dsc8229.jpg)

I don't know if the problem is in the recipe or my oven, the ingredients (although I doubt they differ too much), the cake did smell the way it should, but cutting it as a loaf was not possible.

![_dsc8236.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmRj8zpaCQpFcKaWptABoaaAcBk1viafFN874siLQHRDqK/_dsc8236.jpg)

A little later, the cake syringe is ready (one of my favorite kitchen tools) btw.
At least it looks decent, no need to mention I was very close to starting crying.

![_dsc8240.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmeoYoEyTn6sFF7xgg2CCVFACR7GAVfZTUUMAMFMUuAAys/_dsc8240.jpg)

>Voilà, it's a cake!

![_dsc8257.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQme1bwarcoZiUdSyp398FiW3tj6dXjcdmd4SWtM5sVZ6pp/_dsc8257.jpg)

>I added two slices of lemon as a decoration and an indication of what the cake is made of.

![_dsc8268.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmR5pbBbQjCCAYnDaEbAhKePrEbS2ca47qYRAHuwnoFPaK/_dsc8268.jpg)

It looks quite mushy, it cuts well, it will still take time to overnight and soak all, but I already like that balanced taste of lemon and sweetness.

![_dsc8272.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmWYkKMDi6kXLWXFyg9fbRP7DpT93PKW6Yv3f2WxyC81Zn/_dsc8272.jpg)

Dammit, this was such a Saturday's unplanned adventure.

![_dsc8270.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTEMdMFxuEk1eevEjqdL3oLsAeD1qyukoXH7kRyAwe66Z/_dsc8270.jpg)


Bon appetit, guys! 🍴

>P.S

>Store the excess leftover dough in the freezer, it will come in handy for some quick treats served in a glass.
