When life gives you lemons…. Just kidding, but seriously, this cake is perfectly balanced. Not too heavy, not too lemony— it’s just fluffy and yummy. One slice, then another, and before you know it, poof! It’s gone. Yields 1 (1.5-pound) loaf pan
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons Gefen Vanilla Sugar
3 eggs
zest of 4 lemons (about 2 tablespoons)
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3/4 cup Gefen Canola or vegetable oil
3/4 cup orange juice
2 and 1/4 cups Glicks Flour
1 and 1/2 teaspoons Haddar Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups powdered sugar, such as Gefen Confectioners’ Sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon hot water
Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line loaf pan with Gefen Parchment Paper and set aside.
In a bowl, mix sugars, eggs, and zest.
Add lemon juice, oil, and orange juice. Mix to combine.
Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix to incorporate.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Set aside to cool.
In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and hot water until smooth.
When the cake is completely cool, cover the top with icing.
