Lemon Cake
I was up early this morning with sore hips from late stage pregnancy. I forgot how nice a quite house is in the morning with nothing to do but stir up a dutch baby and watch the snow start to fall outside. If you haven’t checked Andrew’s blog lately there is a cute little video of Jude on it. And now… a yummy recipe for you if you feel like whipping up a sweet treat this week! A simple, light, and delicious Spring dessert! Easy enough
for kids to help with, or to whip up for company in a flash.
Lemon Cake
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
juice of 1 lemon
1 cup milk
1 3/4 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup olive or canola oil
Spray an 8 inch pan with cooking spray and set oven to 350. Mix the sugar and eggs until well combined. Squeeze in the juice of 1 lemon and add milk, stir until smooth. Add flour and baking powder and stir well. Add oil and mix until well blended. Pour into pan and back for 35 minutes or until golden brown and done in the middle. Top with fresh whip cream, strawberry sauce (pureed strawberries with a pinch of sugar and a little water) or fresh raspberries. Yum!
WOW…that looks fantastic! Would go fabulous with my morning coffee today!
