Lemon Slice Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
For the cake:
- 1¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Zest of 2 lemons
- ½ cup (120ml) fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup (120ml) milk
For the lemon syrup (optional, for extra moist cake):
- ¼ cup (60ml) lemon juice
- 2 tbsp sugar
For the lemon glaze:
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and flavoring: Beat in eggs, one at a time, then add vanilla and lemon zest.
- Combine wet and dry: Alternate adding flour mixture and milk + lemon juice to the butter mixture, starting and ending with flour. Mix until smooth.
- Bake: Pour batter into pan and bake 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Optional syrup: While the cake is warm, poke holes and drizzle lemon syrup over it. This makes it extra moist.
- Make glaze: Mix powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth. Pour over cooled cake.
- Slice and serve: Let the glaze set for 10–15 minutes, then cut into slices.
💡 Tip: You can sprinkle a little extra lemon zest on top of the glaze for a bright, fresh look and flavor.
