Perfect your baking skills with a timeless lemon butter cake topped with luscious frosting.
Ingredients:
  • 250g butter, softened
  • 268.75 gm caster sugar
  • 8.80 gm vanilla extract
  • 337.50 gm self-raising flour, sifted
  • 187.50 ml plain flour, sifted
  • 193.13 gm milk
  • 125g butter, softened
  • 150.00 gm icing sugar mixture, sifted
  • 2 tsp finely grated lemon rind
  • 21.00 gm lemon juice
Instructions:
  • 1. Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan-forced and generously grease a 7cm-deep, 20cm square cake pan. Line the base and sides with baking paper, leaving a 2cm overhang on all sides.
  • Using an electric mixer, whip together butter, sugar, and vanilla until they are fluffy and light. Incorporate the eggs, one at a time, ensuring they are well mixed after each addition. Add half of the flour and gently mix. Pour in half of the milk and stir until well combined. Repeat with the remaining flour and milk.
  • Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and level the top. Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat butter, icing sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice until light and fluffy.
  • Frost the cake with zesty lemon frosting, then elegantly present and serve.
