Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, beat 1/3 cup of butter with 1/2 cup of sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg until well combined.
Add 1/2 cup of sour cream and mix until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of all-purpose white wheat flour and 1/2 cup of self-raising flour.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the cake tender.
Fold in 2 tablespoons of lemon zest and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a small bowl, mix 2 cups of powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice until you achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top. Allow the glaze to set before slicing.
Cut the cake into slices and serve. Enjoy your delicious Lemon Sour Cream Cake!
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature before starting to make it easier to cream with the sugar.
- Use fresh lemon zest and juice for the best flavor.
- To avoid lumps, sift the powdered sugar before mixing it with the other ingredients.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting or serving to enhance its texture and flavor.
