Lemon cake

Preparation time:

Use:
There are many recipes for Lemon Cake. At Comida Cubana we offer you an option that is easy to make both inside and outside the Island. We use ingredients that can be obtained without causing a big hole in your pocket. In the Cuban case, the most expensive will be the condensed milk, but it is worth it because the result is delicious. We hope you enjoy this recipe.
Ingredients:

Time

  • 2 cups of ground sweet biscuit
  • ¼ teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Stuffed

  • 1 can of condensed milk
  • 4 egg yolks (medium)
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 pinch of salt

Merengue

  • 4 egg whites
  • 8 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 pinch of salt
Instructions:

The first step is to make the dough that will serve as the shell of the cake. To do this, we mix all the ingredients in a container. They are kneaded with the tips of the fingers, giving light pinches, until they are completely integrated. Then press them to create a homogeneous shell that covers the entire base of the mold and its sides.

Depending on the mold you use, you should add more or less ground biscuit and butter. In this case, a removable one, 26 cm in diameter, was used. Once you have the cake shell ready in the pan, set it aside.

To prepare the filling, beat the ingredients in a deep container until a homogeneous mixture is formed and add it to the mold that had been reserved with the shell of ground cookies and butter.

For the meringue topping, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff. Then add the sugar little by little while continuing to beat until you obtain a firm meringue. Finally, add the teaspoon of lemon juice and finish mixing so that it is well integrated.

Bake at 150ºC (300ºF) for approximately 25 minutes. When the meringue turns golden brown, remove the cake from the oven.
