I wanted to try out the lemon cake for a long time. I found two types of recipes. One with lemon juice in the batter and other type calls for pouring over a mixture of lemon juice and sugar after the cake is baked. I went with the first option as I wanted to bake something which accompaniments a cup of tea and thought a simple cake with no glaze would be good.
It is a simple cake that cake be baked in a short time and has a fresh lemon-y flavor.
Try to use a big juicy lemon instead of the small limes. It has more flavor.
And also to mention I have been wanting to try out a cake recipe with whole wheat flour. So I tried replacing half the amount of All Purpose Flour with Whole Wheat Flour. I could not make out that much difference in taste but the color was light brown due to wheat flour. I am planning to experiment more with wheat flour as it is an healthy substitute.
