Lemon Beer Cake with Honey and Figs
Report
This Lemon Beer Cake is a really simple but still impressive dessert, with a citrusy beer note to keep it moist and add extra flavour. It’s perfect early in the morning with coffee, or late at night after dinner with a beer, of course.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 356F/180C, and grease a 8inch loose base cake tin.
- In a bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda and a generous pinch of salt. Set aside until needed.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer add the lemon zest, brown sugar, caster sugar and butter. Beat until well combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, incorporating well between additions.
- The add lemon juice, beer, honey and olive oil, and continue to mix until well combined, scraping the bottom of the mixer if necessary.
- Stop the mixer and slowly add in the flour mixture, lightly stirring until just combined.
- Pour the cake mixture into the prepared cake tin.
- Bake for about 30 mins, or until cake is golden brown and a tooth pick inserted in the center comes back clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before removing the cake from the tin.
- In the meantime prepare the frosting. Simply mix together ricotta, quark, lemon zest and honey, adding some extra sugar to make it sweeter if you like. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Spread the frosting over the top of the cake, decorate with halved ( or sliced) figs and a drizzle of honey.
- Serve immediately, and store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
