By Senin, 08 Juli 2019 Edit

Ingredients

  1. 3 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1 tablespoon baking powder
  3. 3/4 teaspoon salt
  4. 3 cups sugar
  5. 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  6. 1/2 cup shortening at room temperature
  7. 5 large eggs at room temperature
  8. 1 cup whole milk or 1/2 cup milk plus 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  9. 6 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
  10. Zest of 1 lemon


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Grease and flour a tube pan (angel food cake pan) or Bundt pan. Set aside.
  3. Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl. Set aside.
  4. Using an electric or stand mixer, cream together butter, shortening and sugar.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each one.
  6. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
  7. Add dry ingredients in three additions to butter mixture alternately with half of the milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
  8. Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition.
  9. Gently stir in lemon juice and zest.
  10. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  11. Bake cake until cake is golden on top and tester inserted into center comes out clean, 55 - 70 minutes. (Start checking at the 55 minute mark.)
  12. Be careful not to open the oven if you don't think it's finished baking. (Opening the oven prematurely could cause the cake to fall.)
  13. Cool cake in pan.
  14. Using a sharp knife, gently separate cake from cake pan edges wherever you can, including around the center tube.
  15. Turn cake out onto rack.
  16. Serve with a dollop of fresh whipped cream or a spoonful of lemon curd.
