I was craving cake again. But I wanted only a slice of cake, not a whole cake, that would feed a whole family. So I grabbed my measuring spoons and a coffee cup and started “baking”.
This time I wanted something fruity. Orange or lemon cake. I didn’t have oranges at home, so it ended up to be a quick lemon cake made in the microwave.
I wish you fun making this cake and eating it!
Love,
Rina

Autor/Author: Rina
Gang/Type: Dessert
Ergibt/Yield: 1 Portion
Zutaten/Ingredients
For the mug cake:
- 4 tbsp flour
- 1 1/2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp corn starch
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp neutral tasting oil
For the icing:
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- a few drops lemon juice
Zubereitung/Instructions
- First make the icing by stirring in lemon juice in the powdered sugar until a thick glaze forms.
- In a cup combine the dry ingredients, then add the wet ingredients and stir until smooth. "Bake" in the microwave for one minute.
- Drizzle over the icing and dress with lemon zest if you like.
Tipps/Notes
The flour tablespoons are just as big as the lemon juice tablespoons. Meaning, don't use heaped, but leveled spoons of flour.
Liebe Rina,
eine supergute Sonntagsloesung, wenn man keine Zeit für lange Backsessions hat.
Hat mir den Masterarbeits-Nachmittag versüßt!

Nachdem jetzt zwei Wochen lang täglich zum Teil mehrere Tassenbrownies ihren Weg in meinen Magen (und mein Herz;)) fanden, wagte ich jetzt todesmutig den Versuch dieses Zitronenküchleins und bin einfach nur geflasht!!! Wie geil ist das denn bitte? ? weiter so!!!

Hi Rina, thanks for the lovely recipe! I wasn’t quite prepared for the heavy foaming that occurred when I combined the baking powder and lemon juice, but the resulting cake was SUPER fluffy and airy. I added a tablespoon of poppy seeds too, yum ??

I just made this and it’s great! I decreased the sugar a bit and halved the icing.
