ULTIMATE LEMON CAKES | ONE RECIPE, FOUR CAKES

Ultimate Lemon Cakes Recipes

.

I am calling these Ultimate Lemon Cakes for very good reason: they are the most satisfying set of cakes for lemon lovers ever!

They are tender and light, yet moist and rich in flavor, and they disappear fast.
It all started with getting the perfect lemon loaf cake: you know, the tall, most but light kind, similar to the one so many love at Starbucks, but without all the unhealthy additives that industrially made foods are inevitably filled with.

Ultimate Glazed Lemon Loaf Cake Recipe

.

Once that was achieved, I wondered if the recipe would work for an upside-down version. It did, both as a loaf and as a round version. Then I remembered a cake I had seen with a creamy swirly core and, of course, I had to try that with my cake using lemon curd. Et voilá! Cake number 4 was created!

My favorite? All of them, really, as it depends on what I have a taste for, but with a slight preference for the classic glazed loaf.

THE CAKES

CLASSIC LEMON LOAF CAKE WITH LEMON GLAZE
UPSIDE-DOWN LEMON LOAF CAKE
UPSIDE-DOWN 8-INCH ROUND LEMON CAKE
9-INCH ROUND LEMON CURD SWIRL CAKE

Except for the Upside-down Lemon Loaf Cake, all cakes have the same amount of core ingredients. The main modifications are where the cakes differ: whether USD, with glaze, or with lemon curd.

    Because, sometimes, the ultimate comfort food (other than Sunday Brunch) is afternoon tea in the garden.

These wonderful treats are from Patisserie Angelica in Sebastopol (Sonoma County, California) @patisseriesebastopol - which I definitely recommend. 

I actually have a full and photo rich post about them on the blog if you like. You can go to my home page via the links in profile, and in the main menu you can select Food 👉🏼 California 👉🏼 Bakeries & Patisseries

Wishing you a wonderful weekend of ease and comfort.

    I had forgotten how easy and good Pie Pops are till I made some for a friend’s birthday tea party over this past weekend.
I made extra and put them in the freezer. They defrost quickly and are perfect for when a small sweet treat is “desperately” needed. 😄 Or you can make a bunch ahead for a party, too! Use your favorite pastry, or get mine, which is a classic Italian “pasta frolla”. Use your favorite fillings... or mine. 

You can find the recipe by popping up the links in my profile @lifeoutofbounds, scrolling down and selecting Recipes for Spring. Scroll down the page that opens up and you will find it. Have fun baking!
