Hello everyone! With the return of level four I thought it would be appropriate to drop another recipe! One of my favourite parts about winter is all the readily available citrus fruits, lemons, grapefruits and clementines are all not only tasty, but how beautiful are the colours!?
This clementine cake with a lemon glaze is amazing, it’s fluffy, sweet and perfectly citrusy.
For the cake
- 90 g unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp clementine zest (about two clementines)
- 25 g oil
- 110 g granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 90 ml milk any type
- 30 ml clementine juice
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 200 g all purpose flour
Glaze
- 90 g icing sugar
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
For the cake
- Beat the butter with the sugar, salt, zest and oil until it has gone lighter in colour. You can do it using an electric mixer with the whisk attachment or with a metal hand whisk.
- Add the eggs and beat the mix again until light and airy.
- Then add the milk and juice.
- Add the flour and baking powder and mix.
- Pour into a well greased baking tin.
- Fill the mould with the mix and level it.
For the glaze
- Mix the icing sugar and a little bit of lemon juice and pour it on the cake as soon as it comes out of the oven.
