🍋 Creamy Lemon Custard Cake
🛒 Ingredients
4 large eggs (separated)
¾ cup sugar
½ cup butter, melted (unsalted)
¾ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk (lukewarm)
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Powdered sugar (for dusting)
👩🍳 Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
Beat egg yolks with sugar until pale and creamy.
Add melted butter and vanilla; mix well.
Mix in flour until smooth.
Slowly add milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Batter will be very thin.
In another bowl, beat egg whites with salt until soft peaks form.
Gently fold egg whites into the batter (leave some lumps).
Pour batter into the baking dish.
Bake 45–50 minutes until top is lightly golden and center slightly jiggly.
Cool completely, then refrigerate 1–2 hours for best texture.
Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
💡 Tips
Don’t overmix egg whites — that creates the custard layer.
Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Add whipped cream on top for extra indulgence 🤍
This cake naturally forms three layers while baking: ✨ light cake • creamy custard • soft base — just like the photo 😍
