Zesty Lemon Custard Dream Cake
🍋 Brighten Your Day with Every Bite!
Like sunshine in dessert form — tangy, creamy, and wrapped in soft golden fluff.
🧾 INGREDIENTS
🍰 Cake Base
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
¾ cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs, separated
1 tsp vanilla extract
Zest of 1 lemon
¾ cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 ¾ cups whole milk, lukewarm
✨ Topping & Garnish
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Lemon slices + mint leaves (optional)
It smells like warm lemon fields and sugared butter — fresh, bright, and nostalgic.
🔢 INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment.
Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk yolks with sugar until pale and thick.
Add melted butter, lemon zest, and vanilla. Mix well.
Stir in flour, then lemon juice and warm milk until smooth.
Gently fold in egg whites, leaving small clumps — do not overmix!
Pour batter into pan. It will be very runny — that’s perfect!
Bake for 45–50 minutes until golden on top and barely jiggles.
Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with lemon and mint before serving 🍋
