Mom's Lemon Cake


















Ah, tradition. Mom's oven is not working and Easter is here. So, I'll be figuring out the pineapple souffle and the much loved and looked forward to Lemon Cake. Karen has put my cake baking experience/experiment on Silent Unity's prayer list. Surely this will help.

3 cups sifted flour
2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1/2 pound butter
2 C sugar
4 eggs
1 C milk
finely grated rind of two lemons
1/3 C lemon juice
3/4 C sugar

Preheat oven to 350
Butter a 9 x 3 1/2 " tube pan (or bundt pan) and dust lightly with fine dry bread crumbs.

Sift together flour, baking powder and sale; set aside.

In large mixer bowl cream butter. Add 2 C sugar and beat in for 2-3 minutes. Beat in the eggs individually, scraping the bowl to keep mixture smooth. On lowest speed, alternately add the flour mixture in 3 additions and the milk in 2 addition. Stir in lemon rind. Turn the batter into the prepared pan. Level. Bake for 1 hour and 10-15 minutes. Let stand for 3 minutes then cover with rack and invert.

Prepare lemon glaze. Stir together lemon juice and sugar. Immediately brush glaze over hot cake until absorbed.
