Lemon Drop Chilli Loaf Cake Recipes

LEMON DROP CHILLI LOAF CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter and flour two 20cm cake tins. Mix the buttermilk (or yogurt) with 2 tbsp lemon juice.
• Beat the butter and sugar until creamy, then add the lemon zest. Gradually add the eggs a little at a time, beating well after each addition. Fold the flour into the batter, followed by the buttermilk mixture. Spoon the batter into the cake tins and level the surface. Bake for 25-30 mins, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to sit for 10 mins, then turn out onto a wire rack and leave to cool.
• To make the caramel, put 1 chilli in a jug and add 100ml boiling water. Leave to steep for 10 mins (don't leave it any longer or the chilli flavour will be too strong). Strain into a pan, then scatter over the sugar. Heat gently until the sugar melts, then boil until you have a light caramel. Take off the heat and quickly dip the remaining whole chillies in, then leave them to set on a piece of baking parchment. Put the pan back on the heat and stir the remaining lemon juice (from the cake mixture), reserving 1 tbsp, into the caramel to make a sauce.
• To make the frosting, beat the butter until very soft. Beat in the reserved 1 tbsp lemon juice and the icing sugar, then fold in the soft cheese - don't beat it or the mixture will soften too much. If it's too soft, chill for 10 mins.
• Drizzle a tiny bit of caramel over one cake, then add a layer of lemon curd and place the other cake on top. Spread the frosting over the top, drizzle over the remaining caramel and decorate with the chillies.

LEMON LOAF CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add the room temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Beat in the sour cream, vanilla, and lemon peel. Beat for an additional 2 minutes. Batter will look curdled. Combine flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda in a separate bowl. Pour the flour mixture into the egg mixture, mixing until just incorporated. Pour the batter into a prepared 8x4 inch loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes before removing to cool completely on a plate.
• To make glaze: Whisk together the lemon juice and powdered sugar. Pour glaze over entire cake and allow cake to cool while the glaze is soaked in.

LEMONY LEMON LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch nonstick loaf pan and "flour" the pan with 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, tilting so each surface of the pan is dusted with sugar. Discard any excess sugar.
• Whisk together flour, cornstarch, and baking powder in a mixing bowl; set aside.
• Place baking soda in the palm of your hand and wet with water to form a paste. Rub paste vigorously all over 1 lemon. Rinse lemon thoroughly, zest it, and place zest in a large bowl. Juice the lemon into a liquid measuring cup and add enough juice from remaining 2 lemons to measure 1/3 cup; add to lemon zest.
• Add sugar, olive oil, and cream cheese to the lemon mixture. Mix thoroughly with an electric mixer until most of the sugar has dissolved. Whisk in eggs, applesauce, sour cream, and buttermilk until well combined. Whisk in 1/2 of the reserved flour mixture until incorporated. Whisk in remaining flour mixture until just combined. Immediately pour and scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Place loaf pan, uncovered, on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 42 to 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges of the pan to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool for 30 minutes before serving, or cool completely to room temperature before wrapping and refrigerating.

GLAZED LEMON POUND CAKE LOAF RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 °F. Spray an 8×4-inch loaf pan with baking spray and line with a piece of parchment paper that covers the bottom and long sides, with an inch or so extending past the top of the pan (these will be the "handles" to lift the loaf out of the pan).
• In a large bowl with an electric mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter with the sugar until light-colored and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and beat in well after each addition, scraping down the sides of the bowl, as needed. Beat in the lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together well the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the sour cream, starting with ⅓ of the flour, ½ of the sour cream, ⅓ of the flour, the last of the sour cream, then finally the last of the flour.
• Scrape into the prepared 8×4-inch loaf pan and level batter. Bake in a preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean.
• Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then run a knife along the short ends and use the parchment paper edges to lift and remove from pan. Allow to cool on a cooling rack.
• While the loaf is still a little warm, prepare the glaze, adding enough lemon juice to make a pourable glaze. Place a baking tray under the cooling rack to catch any drips and spoon glaze slowly over top of loaf, allowing it to drip down the sides a bit. Cool completely, then slice and serve.
