Easy Lemon Corn Cake Recipe
Here is an easy lemon corn cake recipe which is a great spring or summer time dessert!
I recently finished reading book 3 in the Striking a Match book series by Tracie Peterson. Books 1 & 2 were great and I'll honestly be sad when I finish the series. Tracie Peterson is one of my favorite authors of clean romance novels that are usually set in a historical time period.
At the end of book 2, Hearts Aglow, there is a recipe for one of the desserts that was mentioned in the book - Lemon Corn Cake. It sounded so super yummy to me that I just had to try it and share it with you!
Ingredients needed for Lemon Corn Cake Recipe:
1 cup yellow cornmeal
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 tbsp grated lemon zest
1/4 cup lemon juice
4 eggs

1/4 cup lemon juice

Heat oven to 325°F. Grease and flour a 9X13 or Bundt cake pan.
- Sift together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar until creamy
3. Zest your lemon until you get 1 tablespoon. I have this Chef Essentialz zester that is very sharp - be careful not to zest your own skin!
Add that to your creamed butter and sugar.
4. Add your lemon juice and mix together until smooth.
5. Beat 4 eggs and add to the mixture.
6. Blend in flour mixture and buttermilk until batter is sooth. Pour into pan. Bake 1 hour at 325°.
