#FAT CAKES RECIPES WITH BAKING POWDER SKIN#
Do not use the white skin or it will go bitter. The real flavor comes from Lemon Zest, the outer rind of a lemon. One can skip the vanilla essence if at all. One can skip the vanilla essence if required but at times I can smell the egg and hence I love to add it to mask the smell. Now we are adding the flour, finely grated lemon zest, and vanilla essence. After each addition, you would see the eggs adding some volume to the mixture and the mixture getting creamier. Next, you are adding the eggs one at a time and beat each of them slowly until well incorporated. You will not get a creamy texture batter with melted butter and you will not able to even cream it. The butter has to be softened but not melted. This will take around 3-4 minutes but is well worth the effort.Īlways use room temperature softened butter when you want to cream the butter and sugar together. It has to be beaten thoroughly to almost a ribbon stage or when the mixture changes color. So the first step of the recipe is beating the butter and the sugar.

So I have mentioned the key ingredient egg in the first place. Though this is the first step, I am adding it second here as many have asked me for the replacement for egg in this recipe which sadly is none. Secondly for any recipe if you are just beating egg whites, make sure the vessel is clean and does not have any traces of egg yolk or fat at all.They create the best volume and stability. If you are storing your eggs in the fridge it is always advisable to get them at room temperature for baking.There is some science that when air is incorporated into the protein molecules it unwinds and stretches. Hence you can see that Soufflé, meringues all use egg whites, especially for this purpose. Egg whites are specially used for this purpose and egg whites expand up to 8 times their volume. When you beat an egg in any mixture you would see that increases in volume. When you are beating eggs with a whisker or an electric mixer you are simply incorporating air into the mixture. Eggs have a great ability to leaven or puff up foods when air is beaten to them. The key ingredient for the rise of this Lemon cake without Leavening Agent is egg and there is no replacement of the same in this recipe. I have not added a drop of any artificial color.
