Lemon Butter Cake

Lemon cake has always been my favourite. Be it steamed or baked. :) 

And I noticed that my little princess is starting to like lemon cakes too. It really proves my little girl is growing up with tastebuds for better and greater variety of food. :))

This cake is moist with the fragrant smell from Churn Butter and a sweet and sour taste. Love it!

Ingredients :

125g butter - chopped

250g caster sugar

3 eggs

lemon rind of 2 lemons

225g self raising flour

20ml fresh milk

40ml lemon juice

Method :

Grease and line bottom of an 7" baking tin.

Preheat oven at 175C.

Whisk butter and sugar till fluffy and pale in colour. ( creaming method )

Add in lemon rind and mix well.

Then, add in eggs one at a time and whisk till smooth and light.

Sieve in self raising flour and fold until well blended.

Add in milk and lemon juice. Mix till well combined.

Pour batter into cake tin and smoothen the top.

Insert a bamboo skewer at the centre of the cake. Cake is done if skewer comes out clean.
