Hi and welcome back to my kitchen. This week I am sharing my favourite zesty lemon sponge cake recipe with you. The recipe also includes a lemon drizzle / sugar syrup and lemon white chocolate ganache. This cake so delicious and perfect for summer.
I hope you love the recipe!
The ingredients you will need to make this 6 inch cake are:
13oz / 368g - Self Raising Flour
12oz/ 340g - Butter
12oz/ 340g - Caster Sugar
4 medium eggs
2 lemons – Zest and Juice
Bake on the middle shelf for 55 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius (which is 356 degrees Fahrenheit or gas mark 4). I tend to use my normal oven setting for cakes as I find if I use a fan oven it tends to bake the cakes quicker on the outside so you get this hard crusty shell and the mixture is not baked all the way through. So if you are using a fan oven you might want to reduce the temperature and cook for a little longer.
For the lemon drizzle / sugar syrup (optional):
1.76oz / 50g – Caster Sugar
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2tbsp – Water
For the ganache:
600g – White Chocolate
200ml – Double Cream
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Zest of 1 lemon
