Delicious lemon cake

Today I have a delicious lemon pie for dessert: not a store pie, but cooked at home - almost the same lemon pie as my grandmother’s. I don’t know about you, but I really like homemade pies, especially with a lemon flavor. The taste of such a cake is simply unique, some invigorating. Undoubtedly, this homemade lemon pie is just the right time for tea. And cooking it is very simple: it turns out right lemon biscuit. Therefore, do not waste your time, but go for a notebook to write down a recipe for a lemon pie.

Ingredients:

• lemon zest - 2 tablespoons;
• butter - 150 grams;
• sugar - 200 grams;
• lemon juice - 2 tablespoons;
• flour - 250 grams;
• chicken eggs - 3 pieces;
• baking powder - 2 teaspoons.

Separately for glaze:

• icing sugar - 100-150 grams;
• lemon juice - 50 milliliters.

Delicious lemon pie. Step by step recipe

1. I wash and dry one large lemon. Remove the zest from it with a peeler.
2. Cut the peeled lemon in half and squeeze the juice out of it.
3. Before we prepare the dough for the pie, you should get the butter in advance from the refrigerator to make it soft.
4. Beat butter with sugar until a homogeneous white mass.
5. Add one egg to the whipped butter. If your chicken eggs are not very large, then take one more: not three, but four.
6. Beat eggs with butter and sugar.
7. We add lemon juice to the egg mixture, which we squeezed out of the lemon in advance. And once again we beat everything with a mixer.
8. Sift the flour before baking and add to the rest of the ingredients. After the flour, pour the baking powder. Beat the dough again.
9. Add the grated lemon peel to the ready-made dough: it is it that gives that unique lemon flavor.
10. We grease the cake pan with butter and put our dough into it.
11. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and put in it a baking dish with dough.
12. Bake the cake for about 40 minutes.
13. We take out the finished cake from the oven and let it stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
14. We shift the pie to the dish. To make it easy to do this, you need to tap the table lightly on the table - and the cake will easily exit the form.
15. Now we will make the icing. In the bowl you need to mix lemon juice and powdered sugar.
16. While the cake is still warm, cover it with icing. Do not be afraid that the icing is liquid: it absorbs well in the pie.

That's it, it's time to put the kettle on and start the tea party: after all, our homemade lemon pie is ready. Just look how beautiful it turned out to be in the context, and what aroma: the cake is tender and tasty. On our site “Very Delicious” there are other recipes for making pies with and without lemon.
