How to Make Lemon Custard Cake
To start, set the oven to 325 degrees.
First, use parchment paper to line an 8×8 baking dish and make sure to leave some length (about 2-inches) on the sides to make it easier to take out the cake.
Secondly, add the egg whites into a large mixing bowl of a standing mixer, and combined until it forms thick stiff peaks, then place the bowl on the side.
Thirdly, add the melted butter, sugar and vanilla into a medium bowl, and combine.
Then, add in the flour and use a whisk to combine until smooth and creamy.
Next, add in the lemon juice and lemon zest and whisk to combine. Then, pour the milk and combine, until you have a thin batter.
In addition, add in the egg whites and use a whisk to gently fold to combine, allowing some of it to come to the top. Make sure not to over mix or the cake will become too flat. The batter should look a bit like shaving cream.
Furthermore, add the batter into the baking dish and place it into the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the cake is lightly brown on top.
Finally, sprinkle some powdered sugar on top of the cake.
Serve and Enjoy!
