Ingredients
For the Cake Base:
50 g vegetable oil
50 g milk
5 eggs
60 g cake flour
50 g granulated sugar
10 g lemon juice
10 g vanilla extract
For the Cream:
60 g cream cheese (softened)
Lemon zest (1 lemon)
10 g lemon juice (half of a lemon)
35 g granulated sugar
250 g heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare the cake batter: Mix vegetable oil and milk in a clean bowl. Sift in cake flour and stir until smooth. Add egg yolks, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until evenly incorporated.
- Whip the egg whites: Whisk egg whites with lemon juice, vanilla extract, and sugar until soft peaks form. Gently fold into the batter until combined.
- Bake the cake: Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F). Line a 28x28x2.6 cm (11×11 inch) baking tray with a baking mat. Pour in the batter, smooth the surface, and tap to release air bubbles. Bake for 26 minutes.
- Cool the cake: Let the cake cool on a cooling rack, then demold and cut into three equal pieces.
- Make the cream: Beat 60g cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add lemon zest and juice, and mix well. Gradually add heavy cream and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble the cake: Layer cream on each piece of cake, stacking them. Continue layering until all pieces and cream are used. Garnish with lemon zest and cream.
- Serve: Cut into 5 equal cubes and serve immediately or refrigerate until ready.
Notes
- Add more lemon zest to the cake base for a stronger citrus flavor.
- For a different cream flavor, try substituting lemon with lime, orange, or strawberry.
- To make it gluten-free, substitute cake flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
