Lemon Bundt Cake with Mascarpone Cream

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

This lemon bundt cake has a vibrant citrus taste which can be altered by changing how much lemon juice you use. It is topped with a simple mascarpone cream that adds just the right amount of sweetness. The sliced lime, lemons and halved blackberries were a fun addition to add visual appeal. Rustic cakes are perfect for this time of year and the possibilities are endless with all the seasonal fruits that will be available. This is just one variation of the few to come this summer/spring season إن شاء الله

Cook Time 40 minutes
Servings 10 people

Ingredients

  • 2-3 Lemons
  • 2 cups Self Raising flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 Large eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • Black berries for topping Optional
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • Mascrapone

Notes

 

Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 2: Mix the Initial Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, combine a little more sugar, lemon juice, and eggs. Whisk well until the mixture is smooth.

Step 3: Add the Oil

Pour in the oil and whisk again. Don’t worry if the mixture starts to separate, just keep whisking and it will come together nicely.

Step 4: Combine Everything

Add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients and whisk until well combined. A hand whisk works well here. Once smooth, fold in the sour cream. This gives the cake extra moisture and enhances the flavour in the most subtle way.

Step 5: Prepare and Bake

Line a bundt pan with oil and a light dusting of flour. This is a must, don’t skip this step or your cake will stick to the pan and you won’t get the nice shape. Pour the batter in and smooth the top. Bake until golden and a toothpick or skewer comes out clean. If the top is not baking as fast, towards the end of the bake cover the pan with foil for a few minutes. 

The Mascarpone Cream

This frosting is light, airy, and not overly sweet. Perfect for those who prefer a more balanced frosting. Mascarpone is a soft Italian cheese similar to cream cheese but lighter in texture and milder in flavour. It creates the perfect base for a gentle citrus cream. You can adjust the sweetness and citrus levels to your liking. A touch of lemon zest or vanilla pairs beautifully.
Whip everything together until soft and spreadable. Chill slightly before using if you want a firmer texture.
Once the cake has cooled down, you may add your cream and fruit. 
Hope this turns out well for you and صحة وعافية !
