Lemon Cake Lemon Cake
My mother and I love lemon cakes. I tried to recreate the lemon cake I received as a gift. I halved the amount from a pound cake recipe and slightly modified it for this cake's batter.Use lemon chocolate or coating white chocolate if you can find it!Don't over-mix after you add the flour. If you can't get the coating chocolate, you may use white chocolate. However, normal white chocolate is rich and sweet, so it may be better to slightly reduce the amount of sugar.Use a local well-ripened lemon. Recipe by Myumako cookpad.japan -
