Mini Lime Cake/ Mini Lemon Cake

The other day when I was preparing chili fish, I had used egg white and had leftover egg yolk and some lemon curd in my refrigerator with 2-3 limes so I decided it was time for me to bake small moist, fluffy lime cake

I usually prepare mug cakes as they are simple, easy and can satisfy small dessert cravings however this time I decided to bake a small cake , just for me and hubby. It really was too delicious for words, this is one of the perfect cake for lemon lovers

Preparation time: 10 mins Baking time: 18 mins Total tine: 28 mins

Servings : 2-3

Ingredients

3 teaspoons lemon juice
6 tbsp flour
1 egg yolk
3 tbsp whisked curd
zest of 1/2 -1 lemon – adjust
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
5 teaspoon neutral flavored oil
4 tbsp – 6 tbsp sugar

For Lemon sugar glaze

1/2 cup icing sugar
1-2 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps to prepare

Add egg yolk and sugar in a bowl. The lemon juice I used was quite tart so I added 6 tbsp sugar and reduced lemon zest quantity. For regular lemons, 4 tbsp sugar is enough

Whisk ingredients well for 4-5 minutes

Add lemon juice, curd, zest , oil and whisk well until well combined

Sieve and add all dry ingredients to the bowl

Whisk until well combined

Pour the batter into prepared cake tin. I use silicon strips, they help me prepare pan of dimensions I need. I have made into 4 inch tin

Bake for 18-20 minutes in preheated oven at 170 deg cel until toothpick inserted into centre comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 20 minutes and then demould and cool completely

I have used lemon curd frosting on top. You can do lemon sugar glaze on top. Mix sugar and lemon juice to form thick -thin glaze as desired. Slice and serve this moist fluffy, tart, sweet lemon cake
