Hello friends!I know I have been neglecting this one .I try to be regular but it just doesn't happen .Any ways will cut that out and proceed with the recipe I want to share.
First of all it is easy peasy even if the ingredients sound alien to most Indians. Alright not ingredients but just one ingredient Crisco.So since I did not find that one and it is not my nature to give up on recipes (atleast) I researched the composition of Crisco and figured out that a simple margaine or unsalted butter would do fine .
And fine it did.So here is the recipe .
Lemon Cake
Ingredients
1/2 cup Crisco(unsalted butter/margarine )
1 cup sugar Castor or fine
2 eggs beaten
1 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup nuts optional(I skipped it not because I have no nuts but because I like it that way)
grated peel of 1 lemon or two limes
1/4 cup sugar castor/fine
juice of 1 lemon or two limes
METHOD
- Cream shortening(Crisco/butter/margarine) with sugar.
- Mix in well beaten eggs.
- Sift flour together with baking powder and salt.
- Add flour mixture and milk to the shortening mixture alternating the two and stirring constantly.
- Mix nuts (optional) and peel.
- Bake in a greased 9-5-2inch loaf pan at 50 degrees F or 180 degrees C for one hour or until done.
- Combine 1/4 cup sugar with lemon juice and pour over the top of the loaf while it is still hot from the oven.
Serve hot or cold according to preference. It is an extremely moist and juicy cake and I love it warm . You take your pick.
Happy cooking and let me know please if you try this out. I recommend it highly.
NOTE:-You may use vanilla essenceor lemon essence( 1 tsp ) if you want . I did although the recipe did not say so
