Light Summary Lemon Cake

This light summary lemon cake is truly yummy & just right for this oh so hot summer-it has a zing & a tang but nothing over powering & sits just right on your tongue with its zesty flavour. It is my best cake up to date not counting the cup cakes. Heres the recipe for a lazy noon try out.

Ingredients:-  100 gm butter ( I have used Amul & its just fine), 1 cup sugar,3eggs,rind of 1 large lemon, 1 cup flour,1 tsp baking powder, 120 gm sour cream

For the Glaze:-  juice of 1/2 lemon, 1 tbsp hot water,1/4 cup sugar+2 tsp for dusting

Method:-  Cream butter & sugar. Then beat in lemon rind & eggs.Sift flour & baking pd . Fold into the butter mixture the sifted flour in 3 lots, alternating with sour cream. Mix until smooth. Pour in a lined baking tray& bake in a pre heated oven@ 160 degree C for 35-40 mts or until the cake is done.

 To make glaze,add 1tbsp hot water to juice of 1/2 lemon , add 1/4 cup sugar, a tsp at a time, stirring after each addition.

Leavecake in tray for 5 mtsbefore pouring glaze over it. Pierce cake all over to help seep in glaze. Dot with icing sugar. Remove from tray when cool & ENJOY.

Note:-  Its very easy to make sour cream at home. Take 2 tbsp butter milk & add to a jar full of cream(Amul cream is fine) Let it stand for 24 hrs @ room temperature --it will thicken--then refrigerate & use up within 15 days
