Sumarleg sítrónukaka

Summery lemon cake


I think this is a nice soft cake that really tastes like summer! The cake was also well received by my children. They just couldn't agree - grated lemon peel on the frosting, yes or no? But the majority was for yes!



Ingredients

250 g soft butter
260 g brown sugar
4 eggs
380 g flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 pinch of ground vanilla
100 ml pure Skyr
1 organic lemon
140 g powdered sugar


Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C) upper/lower heat.

Mix the butter and sugar until fluffy.


Add the eggs one at a time, stirring constantly.


Mix in the flour, baking soda and salt.


Wash the lemon thoroughly and cut it in half.


Now add the skyr, the ground vanilla, the juice of half a lemon and some grated lemon peel.


Oops - I almost forgot the ground vanilla!

Place in a well-greased Bundt cake tin (approx. 23 cm).


...and bake in a preheated oven at 350 °F (180 °C) for about 90 to 100 minutes until the cake is well baked (test with a toothpick!).


Take the cake out of the oven, let it cool thoroughly and then turn it out.

Mix the powdered sugar with the juice of the other half lemon juice and then pour the nice thick mixture onto the cake.


Sprinkle grated lemon peel over the icing for decoration and let everything set well.
