Lemon Cake

Turkish Lemon Cake (Limonlu Kek) Recipe!

Do you use lemon or lemon juice in desserts, dishes and salads?

We are very enthusiastic about using lemon in desserts. Also we love to use lemon in salads and in soups too. We always liked sour flavours. But we enjoy the combination of sour and sweet. That's why we add lemon to our desserts, especially in winter, when we can find the most delicious lemons. Actually we use lemon in everywhere. In this summer, we consumed the cold lemonade alot. Seafoods are always served with lemon or lemon juice in restaurants. Many of us favourite ice-cream is lemon icecream. Bye the way, lemon icecream is one of the best selling icecreams here.

    

Our very close friend Melahat brought a wonderful lemon cake the other day and we were very happy. We are huge fan of lemon, probably consume at least a lemon a day. Lemon cake is also one of the cakes we make most often in cold winter days, along with the chocolate chip pound cake. The tartness of the lemon juice and the wonderful smell of the lemon peel make the cake one step ahead of the standard cakes. Especially the smell that spreads to the house from kitchen while it is cooking is a separate source of happiness. 

Merry Christmas! Happy and Healthy 2023!

How to Make Turkish Lemon Cake (Limonlu Kek)!

In this post , we are going to share our very delicious lemon cake with you. We especially make this yummy lemon cake alot in winter days. We are sure that when you try this delicious recipe, you like it. Its preparation is really super easy and its recipe is not complicated. 

For the lemon cake, we use the juice of one lemon and the grated yellow rind of two lemons. Since the size of the lemons will change, the amount of water that will come out of 1 lemon will naturally change. It doesn't matter, actually. It can only affect the intensity of the lemon flavour. If you don't want to risk it, you can measure and use lemon juice. Nearly 25 ml of lemon juice will be enough for one lemon.

Some of our friends use dried lemon peel instead of the fresh lemon and lemon juice but i havent tried their method yet. According to them; If you don't have a lemon on hand, but you still want to make a lemon cake, you can use the dried lemon peel that you prepared beforehand. Since there will be no lemon juice, it will not be sour, but the lemon peels will still give a very pleasant smell. If you want to make a slightly more fun lemon-scented cake instead of plain cake, keep it in mind.
