Cake
Ingredients
½ pound of Flour
1 ½ teaspoon of Baking powder
½ pound of Butter
½ pound of Sugar
6 Eggs
1 teaspoon of Lemon zest
2 teaspoons of Dark vanilla extract
½ cup of Orange juice
Preparation
Step 1 : Before starting, it is recommended to measure and weigh all ingredients to ensure precision in the recipe.
Step 2 : The butter and eggs should be at room temperature, as this will facilitate their incorporation into the mixture.
Step 3 : Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F), or 163°C (325°F) if using a convection oven.
Step 4 : The pans should be greased with butter and sprinkled with flour to prevent the cake from sticking.
Step 5 : Sift the flour and baking powder in three stages, setting them aside to achieve a uniform and light mixture.
Step 6 : In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar at medium speed until obtaining a very light-colored cream and a fluffy texture.
Step 7 : Then, incorporate the eggs one by one, beating well after each addition to ensure they are well integrated.
Step 8 : Add the vanilla and lemon zest, mixing gently.
Step 9 : Using a mixer at medium-high speed, alternate adding the orange juice and sifted flour.
Step 10 : Start and finish with the flour, mixing well after each addition to keep the batter homogeneous.
Step 11 : Controlling the consistency, pour the batter into the greased pans, taking care not to disturb the floured surface for a smooth, even finish.
Step 12 : Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 13 : Once baked, let the cake cool to room temperature.
Step 14 : If necessary, level the top by gently cutting it.
Step 15 : Spread the desired filling between the layers and carefully stack them.
Step 16 : For a special finishing touch, cover with meringue and decorations of your choice.
Step 17 : It is recommended to serve at room temperature to fully enjoy the citrus and sweet flavors, ideal for celebrating any occasion.
