Recipe for a super simple lemon cake from the sheet metal

Ingredients for a sheet:

  • 280 g Mehl
  • 200 g of sugar
  • 2 TL baking powder
  • 1 TL Natron
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon zest (organic lemon)
  • 60 ml lemon juice, freshly pressed
  • 100 ml of vegetable oil, tasteless
  • 170 ml of water, cold

For the cast

  • 120 g powdered sugar
  • 20 ml of water or lemon juice

And that's so easy:

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees upper/bottom heat. Line a baking sheet with baking paper. (Alternatively, you can also bake the cake in a springform pan or a box shape. Since the cake then gets higher, it takes a little longer in the oven. Use the chopstick test to check whether it is through.)

2. Mix all the ingredients into a smooth dough and spread them on the sheet. Bake the cake for about 20-25 minutes.

3. After the cake has cooled down, stir a thick -fluid cast from powdered sugar and lemon juice. Brush the lemon cake and optionally decorate with colorful crumble.
