g'day welcome to the simple sooking
Channel today I'm going to show you how
to make a lemon cake with lemon frosting
I don't know why I did that but
apparently that means lemon to me and
I'm using a lemon for my own lemon tree
to give her that extra lemony taste so
there's a go good large mixing bowl and
chucking 250 grams of softened butter
chuck in 1 and 1/3 cup of sugar 2 cups
of self-raising flour 4 eggs
a little bit of baking powder and about
half a teaspoon get a lemon grated put
the lime in there reserve about a couple
of teaspoons that we'll use for the
frosting you also then juice the lemon
keep about half of it put in here and
the other half we're going to keep set
aside with the little bit of rind
because we're using that with the rind
for the frosting now add up a cup of
milk now I want to mix this together to
create a really yummy batter just start
it on slow so doesn't fly everywhere
unless you want that
now you want a nine-inch ah here about
nine inches by three inches by ting ting
you can have a smaller one or even a
bigger one depends on your preference
how how big you want the cake how high
you want it to rise but I find that this
is a good good size for this amount of
batter now just flatten it out you can
just shake it and it should flatten
enough now pre-heat your oven to 160
degrees Celsius or 320 degrees of
Fahrenheit
pop it in there I usually put on the low
or middle shelf not the high shelf it
will take usually about 45 minutes to an
hour just check it up about 45 minutes
and just if it's risen well if you stick
a little skew or something in and it
comes out dry and crumbly or just tiny
little bit moist but crumbly that's good
if it comes out really wet just give it
another 10 minutes all right that is
ready now just let this cool just enough
so you can put the frosting on so we're
going to make the frosting and once this
is cooled enough put it on there so it
doesn't melt everywhere know for this
get about 100 to 125 grams of softened
butter and just chuck that in now add
that little bit of lemon rind that you
reserved that you created before from
the lemon and about half a tablespoon to
a tablespoon of lemon juice then get
about a cup of icing sugar it's also
called confectionary sugar and probably
some other names now we just want to mix
this together and make sure that you
have it plugged in
now I'll get the frosting oh yeah oh
look at that
hahaha okay
Oh Mamma Mia mmm
moist yummy so good I'll see you next
time for my next meal
