Lemon Custard Cake

A light and fluffy lemon custard cake with a creamy texture and refreshing citrus flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, beat egg yolks and sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in melted butter, flour, milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites and salt until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the lemon mixture.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Place the dish in a larger pan and fill the outer pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
  5. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden and the center is set. Let cool before dusting with powdered sugar if desired.
