    Greetings, lovely folks! Mckayla here, ready to share a delightful slice of happiness. Today, I present to you a delightful Lemon Custard Cake—a culinary gem cherished in family recipe boxes across the heartland for decades. This dessert evokes memories of Sunday dinners at grandma’s and picturesque picnics in the countryside. As much a sensory delight as a nod to tradition, it’s the perfect recipe to sweeten your family time. So, let’s dive into the baking process and add a burst of zest to your table!

    While our Lemon Custard Cake is a delight on its own, consider enhancing your dessert spread by pairing it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Fresh berries not only add color but also a juicy burst that complements the tangy lemon. And for the adults, a cup of hot tea or a glass of sweet moscato can elevate the dessert experience.

    Ingredients:

    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

    2 teaspoons baking powder

    1/2 teaspoon salt

    1 cup granulated sugar

    2 tablespoons softened butter

    1/4 cup vegetable oil

    3 large eggs, separated

    1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    2 teaspoons lemon zest

    1/3 cup fresh lemon juice

    1 1/4 cups whole milk

    Powdered sugar for dusting

    Directions:

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease an 8-inch cake pan. Consider lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.

    In a large bowl, beat sugar, butter, and oil until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract and lemon zest.

    Gradually add dry ingredients to the sugar mixture, alternating with lemon juice and milk. Stir until the batter is smooth.

    In a separate bowl, whip egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold them into the batter.

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spoon or spatula.

    Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan before removing. Let it cool completely for optimal results.

    Dust the cake with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant touch.
