This easy sourdough lemon cake is perfect for the summer. The addition of sourdough gives it a deeper taste and moist texture.

Sourdough Lemon Cake

butter,

sugar

juice

eggs

flour

TBSP baking powder

salt

lemon

sourdough starter

butter flour

Rub the inside of your baking dish with butter or brush oil all over. Add about 1 TBSP of flour and dust the whole dish. Discard any excess flour.

Preheat your oven to 350˚ F.

In a medium mixing bowl, whip the room temperature butter with a handheld mixer until very fluffy.

Add the sugar and mix on high speed for 3-5 minutes.

Add one egg at a time, mixing the batter on high speed after each addition.

Add the juice of about 1 ½  lemons, about 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, a few drops of lemon essential oil (if using), flour, baking powder,  and the sourdough starter. Gently mix on low until combined. Do not over-mix!

Transfer the dough to the glass baking dish and spread it evenly (with a rubber spatula).

Bake for 35-50 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Use the same toothpick to poke a lot of holes in the cake.

For the glaze, mix the juice of the remaining 1 ½ lemons, powdered sugar to taste, and a few drops of lemon essential oil (if using).  Spread the glaze evenly over the cake.

A sweet and delicious lemon cake made with your discarded sourdough starter.  Perfect as a breakfast, snack, or dessert!

Glazed Sourdough Lemon Cake

vegetable oil ((or melted butter))

baking powder

lemon juice

sourdough starter (discard)

milk

lemon zest

Prep. Preheat oven to 350 degrees with the rack in the center.  Prepare a loaf pan or 9 x 9 square cake pan with cooking spray.

Wet ingredients. Combine the vegetable oil, eggs, and sugar in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until well combined.

Dry ingredients and milk. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl and add to the sugar mixture 1/3 at a time, alternating with the milk and the sourdough starter.  Mix on low until just combined.  Stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest by hand.  Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Bake and cool. Bake for 50-60 minutes (for the loaf pan) or 40-50 minutes (for the square pan) until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.  Place on a wire rack.  Allow to cool for about 15 minutes in the pan.

In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice for the glaze.  Pour over the still-warm cake.

 After the glaze has soaked in and hardened, remove cake from pan and allow to finish cooling on wire rack.  Slice and serve once cool.

NOTES
Having trouble with your cake sinking?  Try adding a teaspoon of baking soda along with the powder.  Cakes can also sink if they are underbaked: this recipe looks very browned before it bakes through.
