Lemon cake recipe for 6 people :

125g soft butter
150g caster sugar
140g strong flour
15g baking powder

The rinds of a lemon (non treated)The juice of a lemon

2 eggs

Step-by-step directions

1- Start your oven at 170 degrees Celsius (338'F)

2- Peel your lemon with a sharp knife, making sure not to catch the white skin under the rind. Cut them into very fine batons (julienne). Squeeze the lemon afterwards.

3- In a large bowl, place the butter and work it with sugar until the mixture turns slightly white. Then, add the beaten eggs and half of the lemon juice*. Finally, incorporate the flour, baking powder and lemon rinds using a wooden spoon.

4- Pour the batter into a tin and put it in the oven.

5- Bake for 40 minutes*

The trick to this recipe is to pour the rest of the lemon juice onto the cake around 5 minutes to the end of the baking process. It will, nicely, bring up the flavour of lemon.
