Recipe: Simple summer lemon cake

Lemon desserts are perfect for the hot summer, as they can be sweetened and also a little refreshing. If you would like to prepare an unusual and refreshing dessert at home, here is a recipe for a simple summer lemon cake.

This lemon cake recipe differs from other regular lemon cakes in that the different preparation process makes it even more refreshing. Let's look at the recipe for a simple lemon cake.

Ingredients for summer lemon cake:

      • 2 cups flour
      • 2 teaspoons of baking soda
      • pinch of salt
      • 1/2 cup butter
      • 1 cup granulated sugar
      • 3 eggs
      • 1-2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
      • 1 teaspoon of lemon peel
      • a pot of plain yogurt

For the simple lemon cake filling:

      • 400 ml of condensed milk
      • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
      • 1 package of Natreen Creme Dessert vanilla or 250 ml of whipped sweet cream
      • lemon peel for decoration

Preparation of a simple lemon cake:

First, preheat the oven, then mix the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium-sized bowl. In another bowl, slowly mix the butter and sugar together with a mixer to get a slightly foamy mixture, then gradually add the eggs and mix again with the mixer. Now add lemon juice and lemon peel and mix again. Then add flour, baking soda and salt to the mixture, which we have already prepared at the beginning. Stir the mixture until it becomes smooth and add yogurt to it, stir again and place the mixture in a baking tray and then in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cake is baked. As ovens can usually vary greatly, we check whether the cake is baked with a spatula or with the tip of a knife. While we wait, we can prepare the filling. Mix condensed milk and lemon juice in a bowl. When the cake is baked, take the pan and make holes in the dough all over the cake, but the holes should not be too deep. Now the cake can be poured with condensed milk and lemon juice. The cake should soak up the juices nicely. Now let the cake cool down for an hour or two, so it's best to put it in the fridge. When the cake is cooled, you can cover it with the prepared Natreen filling or with whipped cream and add a lemon peel for decoration. And the refreshing lemon cake is ready.
