Lemony Lemon Cake . 清新檸檬蛋糕

                                           Lemony lemon cake . 清新檸檬蛋糕



They are not Sicilian lemons nor California lemons, they are "lemons" from my oven and the leaves are really real leaves from my lemon tree.

Bought the lemon mold for quite a while, just didn't get the time to use it. Don't feel like using the recipes online as I think I know my taste better. And don't feel like using baking soda and baking powder for these small cakes, feel that I want my lemon cakes more natural and lemony.... 

這些不是近期流行的西西里檸檬,也不是最易買到的加州檸檬,而是我烤箱烤焗出來的像真檸檬蛋糕,擰檬葉倒是切切實實從我家的檸檬樹採下來的。

買了這檸檬形狀蛋糕模好一段時間,都未有暇用它。看過市面很多食譜,但總覺口之於味,自己最清楚了解自己口味。造這些小蛋糕,我有一點堅持,就是想盡可能不用泡打粉和梳打粉,使這些小蛋糕口味更自然也更配合原味....

Lemony Lemon Cake

Recipe is enough for 6 small lemon-shaped cakes as shown

Ingredients:
Cake flour 110g
Bread flour 10g
Corn flour 10g
Lemon Zest 2 tbsp
Freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 tbsp
Freshly squeezed lime juice 1 tbsp
Soften butter 50 g
Rice bran oil 20 g
Sugar 65 g
Egg Yolk 2 pc
Egg White 2 pc
Milk 50 ml

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 160 ℃; Mix flours and sift; mix the two juices, lemon and lime
2. Whip egg white till soft peak
3. Mix sugar and lemon zest roughly with a stand mixer or hand mixer, add butter and beat light and fluffy. Add egg yolk in one by one and mix well,  then add in rice bran oil, mix well. Add in flours and milk alternately, the first and the last should be flour; Add lemon juice in and mix well
4. Fold in half portion of the egg white into the batter (3), mix well and then fold in the remaining egg white and mix well
5. Pour the batter into the cake molds till 80% full, shake the mold a few time to eliminate the air bubbles
6. Bake at 160 ℃ for 15 minutes, reduce heat to 140 ℃ and bake for another 8 minutes or until done
7. Take the cakes out when done, and use a toothpick to release the small cakes from molds. Enjoy.

Baking Tips:
1. In order to have the cakes rise naturally without using baking powder and baking soda, I separated egg yolks from egg whites and mixed in separately
2. Use both lemon and lime juice to enhance a better lemony taste
3. Since I used the lemon-shaped molds, I use lower oven temperature to keep it the cake look lemon yellow on both sides. You may use higher oven temperature like 170℃ all the way for 15 to 18 minutes if muffin molds or round cake molds are used
