Authentic German Lemon Cake
  1. Pre-heat oven to 300F (convection), 350F non-convection.

  2. Mix butter with sugar, salt, zest of orange and lemon, and beat until creamy.

  3. Add one egg after the other.

  4. Mix baking powder with flour and starch, add alternating with milk to dough.

  5. Grease a pound cake form and sprinkle with bread crumbs or layer with parchment paper (easier to remove the cake from the pan).

  6. Fill dough into the form. Spread even.

  7. Bake for 40-45 min on 300 F (do the test with a toothpick or skewer: poke the cake and when no dough sticks, the cake should be done).

  8. For the glaze mix powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth.

  9. Take 4 tbsp of the glaze and add some natural edible yellow color and keep separate (optional).

  10. When cake is done and has cooled off, spread the white glaze on top of the cake.

  11. Before you cut the cake in rectangles make sure the glaze is dry and firm.
