Lemon Marmalade Cake

The lemon marmalade cake is a delicious dessert that combines the sweetness of a soft batter with the tartness of lemon marmalade. Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients

• 200 g of all-purpose flour
• 150 g of sugar
• 100 g of butter at room temperature
• 3 eggs
• 1 packet of baking powder
• Grated zest of 1 lemon
• A pinch of salt
• Lemon marmalade (about 200-300 g, depending on your preference)

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
2. In a bowl, cream the soft butter with sugar until you have a frothy and light mixture.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, continuing to mix.
4. Stir in the grated lemon zest and a pinch of salt.
5. Sift the flour and baking powder and add them to the mixture, blending well until you get a smooth batter.
6. Butter and flour a cake pan (or line it with parchment paper) and pour half of the batter into it.
7. Spread a uniform layer of lemon marmalade over it.
8. Cover with the remaining batter.
9. Bake in the oven for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
10. Allow to cool before unmolding, and if you like, dust the surface with powdered sugar.

A curiosity: the lemon marmalade used in this cake pairs perfectly with the flavor of the butter and eggs, creating a balance of flavors that will awaken all the senses. Homemade lemon marmalade is the best choice for an even more special result!
