This lemon curd cake is very moist and easy to make. I also sometimes bake them in muffin tins to make it easy for a packed lunch or picnic. Keeps well for a few days if wrapped in grease-proof paper and aluminum foil.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 5 ounces self-rising flour

  • 4 ounces white sugar

  • 1 stick unsalted butter

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 2 tablespoons lemon curd (heaped tablespoons)

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons superfine sugar

  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

  2. Combine flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and lemon curd in a bowl or food processor. Mix well. Place into the prepared pan.

  3. Bake in the center of the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean, 60 to 90 minutes.

  4. Blend lemon juice, white sugar, and lemon zest together in a bowl while cake is baking.

  5. Let cake cool in the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the lemon-sugar topping over the warm cake to let soak. Allow to cool, about 30 minutes. Turn cake out of the pan.

Cook’s Note

Feel free to substitute margarine for butter, if desired.

This recipe can be used to make cupcakes as well (makes about 16 to 18 cupcakes). Reduce baking time for cupcakes to about 45 minutes.
