Spring Cakes Delicious – Lemon and Elderflower
- Unique combination of bright lemon and fragrant elderflower.
- Perfect for any spring gathering or afternoon tea.
- Easy to make with minimal ingredients; great for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons elderflower cordial
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- Zest of 1 lemon
How to Make
To make these delicious Spring Cakes, start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Next, mix in the lemon juice and elderflower cordial along with the lemon zest. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually combine the wet and dry ingredients until just mixed. Pour the batter into a greased cake tin, filling each cavity about two-thirds full. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool before serving, and enjoy the delightful taste of spring in every bite!
Tips
- Use high-quality elderflower cordial for the best flavor.
- Check your cakes at the earlier bake time to prevent overcooking.
Make-Ahead
You can prepare the batter a few hours in advance and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to bake.
Storing
Keep leftover cakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Freezing
These cakes freeze well! Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and foil; they’ll keep for up to 2 months.
Reheating
To enjoy after freezing, simply thaw at room temperature and warm in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve them with a dollop of whipped cream or a light dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant presentation!
