How To Make Lemon Cake

Lemon pound cake? This lemon cake recipe reminds me of a pound cake, but it’s a cake with 3 layers. HidaMari Cooking  YouTube tutorial is calming and I love the natural sounds in the video because it makes everything peaceful. I love the cookware and baking utensils that HidaMari Cooking had, especially the cake cutter because it looks so convenient. The lemon icing on this cake looks beautiful and moist. This is not your average lemon cake recipe or tutorial. I think it’s one of the most perfect cakes I’ve seen from start to finish, and this is not exaggerating. I love how well put together this cake comes out to be. I’ve had lemon cake before and it’s amazing with the perfect tart to sweetness ratio. I think following HidaMari Cooking  YouTube tutorial would take me some time, but I can’t complain about how delicious it looks.

Directions:

First, in a large bowl add in your eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and mix. Mix these ingredients on top of a hot water bowl. Refer back to HidaMari Cooking  YouTube tutorial if needed. Add the rest of the ingredients into the mix.

Next, put the lemon cake batter in a 7cm x 16cm pan and bake at 284F for 25-28 minutes. Make the lemon curd and lather it on every layer of cake.

The cake looks amazing when it’s finished and it looks too perfect to eat in my opinion. This lemon cake looks perfect to make and have a tea party. Also, this would be a great morning cake to pair with a cup of coffee.
