Lemon cake

In general, November evokes the sadness, cold and an increased number of eaten lemons during this period. Lemons - recently they  were heroines in my kitchen. Thanks to them, many palates were satisfied ... by the lemon cake with recipe by Czarny. Lightly and pleasantly disappear from plates and is a great addition to an afternoon coffee. I recommend!

Ingredients for the cake:

400g flour
250g sugar
cube of butter (200g)
3 eggs
2 tsp baking powder
grated lemon rind (2-3 lemons)

Preparation:

Cream the soft butter and sugar. Next add 3 eggs. Later gradually add the sieved flour and powder - still mixing. To this add the grated lemon rind. The consistence of our dough will be quite sticky which can make the next step a little bit difficult. Our dough should be divided into 3 parts. To the prepared pan (40x25cm) pour and spread the first layer of dough. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees C and bake one by one for about 15 minutes until it get a nice ruddy color.

Ingredients for the lemon custard:

1 lemon gelatin (75g)
1 tbsp potato starch (or instant pudding)
2 egg yolks
juice of 2-3 lemons
1 cup of sugar
0.5 liter of water

Preparation:

Mix the egg yolks, gelatin, flour and juice. Boil  water with sugar, then add the mixed ingreadients and still mixing until you get a uniform custard. Our baked cake layers intersperse by lemon custard. Finally sprinkle with powdered sugar. It tastes really delicious! And just between us, the cake is even better if it has a few days (of course, if it is possible to not eat the whole cake in one day!)
