Lemon Dobash Cake Recipe Recipes Recipe For Hand

DOBERGE CAKE (DOBASH)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 5 8-inch cake pans, and line them with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the cake mix, baking powder, flour, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. With an electric mixer, beat the mixture with water, vegetable oil, and egg whites at low speed until thoroughly mixed; increase speed to medium, and beat 2 minutes. Scoop 1 cup of batter into each of the 5 prepared cake pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cakes are set in the middle, about 8 minutes; watch carefully so the thin cakes don't burn. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove to wire racks to finish cooling.
• Whisk the chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups of milk in a bowl until thoroughly blended; let stand 2 minutes to thicken. Place a cake layer on a serving dish, and spread with about 1/2 cup of pudding; repeat with remaining layers and pudding, ending with a cake layer.
• In a bowl, mash the cream cheese and butter together until thoroughly combined; mix in confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and milk, slowly adding and mixing in milk as needed to make a spreadable frosting. Ice the top and sides of the cake with the frosting. Refrigerate leftovers.

LEMON DOBERGE CAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Butter a 9-inch springform pan with the 2 tablespoons of room-temperature butter. Add the 2 tablespoons of flour and shake the pan to coat the bottom and sides. Tap out any excess flour. Wrap the outside of the bottom of the pan in aluminum foil.
• In a large bowl, combine the remaining 1 3/4 cups of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• Stir the vanilla into the 2 sticks plus 2 tablespoons melted butter. Set aside.
• Add enough water to a medium saucepan to reach a depth of 1 inch. Bring to a simmer over high heat, and then reduce the heat to low. Whisk the eggs and sugar together in a large heatproof bowl, place it over the hot water, and constantly whisk the mixture until it's warm to the touch, about 3 minutes. Pour it into the bowl of a stand mixer (or leave it in the large bowl if using a hand mixer) and whip on high speed until cool and tripled in volume, about 3 minutes.
• Reduce the mixer speed to medium low and slowly drizzle in the melted butter. Use a whisk to gently fold in a third of the dry ingredients, followed by half of the milk. Repeat, ending with a third of the flour mixture. Use a rubber spatula to gently scrape the batter into the prepared cake pan.
• Bake the cake until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean and the center of the cake resists slight pressure from your fingertip, about 1 hour. Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then invert it onto a cooling rack. Unclasp and remove the sides of the pan and then carefully invert the cake so it's right side up. Let the cake cool completely. (You can wrap the cake in plastic and keep it, unsliced, for up to 1 day at room temperature.)
• Remove the metal springform pan bottom from the cake. Slice the cake horizontally into 4 layers. Set aside.
• Wash and dry the springform pan, reassemble it, and coat the bottom and sides with nonstick cooking spray. Drape two 20-inch-long pieces of plastic wrap over the pan so the entire bottom and sides are covered, allowing the ends of the plastic wrap to hang over the sides of the pan.
• Place 1 cake layer in the springform pan. Top it with 1/3 of the lemon curd, using the back of a spoon or an offset icing spatula to spread the curd evenly over the cake layer and leaving a 1/2-inch border of bare cake around the edge. Repeat with the remaining cake layers and lemon curd.
• Cover the top of the cake with the plastic wrap overhang or an extra piece of plastic wrap, if there isn't enough overhang to completely cover the cake. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• After the cake has chilled, make the icing. In the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl if using a hand mixer), mix the butter and sugar together on low speed until combined. Add the lemon juice and food coloring, if using, and mix on low speed until moistened, then increase the speed to medium and beat until creamy, about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low, add 1 tablespoon of warm water, and beat until fully incorporated, about 1 minute longer.
• Place four 6-inch-wide strips of parchment paper around the edges of a flat plate or cake plate. (Some of the parchment paper should hang off the edge of the plate so you can pull the paper out from under the cake once it is frosted. The parchment simply keeps the plate clean while you ice the cake.)
• Unfold the plastic from the top of the cake and invert the cake onto the parchment-lined plate. Unclasp the sides of the pan and remove the sides and bottom of the pan, then peel off the plastic wrap. Use an offset spatula to ice the top and sides of the cake. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. (The filled and frosted cake keeps for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.) Remove the parchment paper before serving. Doberge cake can be served cold or you can let it sit at room temperature for up to 1 hour before serving.

LEMON CAKE FROM SCRATCH

• Whisk flour, lemon zest, salt, baking powder, and baking soda together in a bowl.
• Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat eggs and egg yolks, 1 at a time, into creamed butter mixture on low speed, beating well after each addition before adding the next. Beat lemon juice into butter mixture. Beat flour mixture, alternating with buttermilk, into butter mixture until batter is just combined. Divide batter between the prepared cake pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cake pulls away from sides of pan, 32 to 35 minutes. Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of pan and invert cake onto a wire rack to cool.

LEMON BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees, and butter and flour a 12- to 15-cup Bundt pan. Make sure to apply a thin layer of butter and flour on every nook and cranny of the pan to ensure that the cake doesn't stick.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and baking soda.
• Zest the lemons into the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl.
• Remove the remaining peel and pith from 3 of the lemons by cutting off the top and bottom tip of each lemon. Stand each lemon up on one end, and use a sharp paring knife to follow the curve of the fruit and cut the peel and white pith away; discard it. Chop the lemon flesh into small pieces and remove the seeds and any large pieces of membrane. Transfer the chopped lemons to a bowl if the juice is running off of the board. (You should have about ⅓ cup.) Set aside.
• Add the granulated sugar to the bowl with the zest and rub the mixture together with your fingers to release the oils in the zest. Add the softened butter and oil to the mixture, and mix on medium speed with the paddle attachment or using an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally to ensure even mixing.
• Add the sour cream and salt, and mix on medium speed until homogeneous. Add the lemon flesh and juices, and mix until well combined; the mixture may separate a bit, but don't worry.
• Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until just combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula to make sure everything is well mixed and no pockets of flour remain.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top and tap the pan on the counter a few times to release any large air bubbles. Bake the cake for 50 to 60 minutes or until the cake is golden and puffed, and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
• Let the cake cool on a rack for 10 minutes. Then carefully turn it out onto a rack or serving plate to glaze and finish cooling.
• While the cake cools, make the glaze: Juice the remaining lemon. (You should have about 4 tablespoons.) Add the confectioners' sugar, a pinch of salt and about three-quarters of the lemon juice to a bowl. Whisk until smooth, adding more lemon juice as necessary to make a thin but opaque glaze.
• Immediately brush a thin layer of glaze over the warm cake, and let the glaze set until the cake has cooled to almost room temperature. When the cake is mostly cool, brush the remaining glaze over the top. Cool, slice and serve. Store any leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 4 days; the glaze may get a bit sticky as it sits.
