Instructions
For Lemon Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Spray a 9x9” square baking pan with nonstick spray
- In a bowl, mix the salt, baking powder, 1 cup sugar and flour together with a fork
- In another bowl place the egg yolks and using a mixer, whip for 5-7 minutes until the yolks become thick and pale
- Slowly add the flour mixture alternating with the butter and lemon juice. Finally mix in the lemon zest
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff
- Carefully fold in the egg whites into the cake mixture in 2 – 3 installments using a spatula. Use round movements to avoid deflating the egg whites
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until golden brown, about 20-30 minutes
- Remove from the oven and place on baking rack for 20 minutes
- Invert the pan into the baking rack and unmold
- Cool cake completely

For Lemon Crème
- Mix all the ingredients together until creamy
- Spoon the crème into a piping bag and snip the bottom
- Remove the cake from the freezer and cut into small snack cakes
- With a knife, make deep 3 incisions over the surface of the cakes making sure you leave a large pocket for the crème
- Insert the piping bag into each pocket and squeeze to stuff the pastries
- Clean the tops of the cake and refrigerate while you make the frosting
Lemon Frosting
- Place butter, lemon juice and sugar into a bowl
- Mix on medium speed until nice and creamy
- Place the frosting into a piping bag fitted with a large Icing tip
- Slowly Pipe the frosting over surface
- Enjoy!
