Sand Cake, a light and fluffy treat, is perfect for any occasion. This cake, with its delicate texture and refreshing lemon flavor, is a true delight for dessert lovers. Follow this simple recipe to bake a delicious Sand Cake that will impress your family and friends.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour and corn flour until well combined. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the lemon zest until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Bake in your preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cake is cooling, prepare the lemon glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
Once the cake has completely cooled, use a spoon or a piping bag to drizzle the lemon glaze over the top. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving.
Slice the cake and serve it with your favorite tea or coffee. Enjoy the light and zesty flavor of your Sand Cake!
Tips:
- Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature before starting to achieve the best texture.
- Use fresh lemon zest and juice to enhance the cake's flavor.
- Fold in the flour gently to maintain the light and airy consistency of the batter.
- Preheat your oven to the correct temperature to ensure even baking.
- Check the cake’s doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean.
Once baked, let your Sand Cake cool completely before dusting it with powdered sugar for that perfect finish. This delightful cake, with its light and airy texture combined with a hint of lemon, is sure to become a favorite in your home. Enjoy your homemade Sand Cake with a cup of tea or coffee for the ultimate treat.
