|
Cake an coffee is a tradition in Norway. I was getting a little down with no snow an lack of activity because of it. Thanks to one person on here, i would like to give the first piece of cake to him for his inspiring me to do what i love to do best,,, Cook!!! (not to mention my husband is in his glory again with me baking )
Thank you Sjoerd, first piece of Lemon Yogurt Cake goes to you.
Lemon Yogurt Cake
75g butter
3dl sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2dl of yogurt, or you can use milk here
4dl flour
3 ts baking powder
1 ts vanilla sugar
2 Tbs dried an ground lemons
1 pkg of cooking lemon or vanilla pudding
1 egg
vanilla sauce, i use the pkg.
melt butter an add to sugar an mix well, add eggs, yogurt,ground lemon, an mix until well beaten. Mix flour, baking powder, an vanilla sugar, then add to sugar mixture. Mix well. You can also add some lemon essence if you desire to do so. Bake at 175 deg C for 45-50 minutes.
While cake is baking, cook the pudding according to pkg. an add one egg for a richer taste. let cool.
make vanilla sauce according to pkg directions.
When cake is cool, slice cake horizontally in half, spread your pudding, at this point you can add a thin layer of jam or nuts or dried fruits if desired,, i added some crushed almonds. Replace the top half of cake, cut an serve with vanilla sauce, and a nice hot cup of coffee, an enjoy!

I was going to ask that Netty but saw you'd wondered about it too. Thanks for the recipe Biita. As Sjeord isn't around at the moment I've sneaked a bite and it is heavenly!!!

You can definitely tell home made cake. It looks as though it will melt in your mouth.

Now I just need a good recipe for cleaning my monitor, since I keep licking the picture (well ok, just thought real hard about it, lol!)
Lemon is better than chocolate anytime. Blastphemous to my gender, but there I've said it.

Lemon Bread recipe is posted, enjoy.
It makes one pretty dense loaf and is good either with butter or just plain.
