Ingredients

For this recipe, you will need:

  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons of freshly grated lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup of boiling water
  • 1/2 cup of lemon syrup

Instructions

To make this lemon syrup cake, begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and baking powder. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract. Add the sour cream, lemon juice and lemon zest and mix until just combined. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and boiling water to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, make the lemon syrup. In a small saucepan, heat the lemon syrup over medium-low heat until it is hot and bubbly. Once the cake has cooled, poke holes in the top of the cake with a toothpick. Slowly pour the hot lemon syrup over the top of the cake, making sure to evenly distribute it over the surface. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
