Lemon Cake With Frosting Recipe - Recipes Track

Lemon icing consists of just two ingredients - and works wonders for muffins, cakes, and cookies! Thanks to its fruity taste, the glaze can be used in many ways when baking. We'll show you how to make lemon juice yourself - quickly and in just a few simple steps.

For 12 muffins or a box cake you need: 

• 250 g powdered sugar
• A medium-sized lemon

For a normal, not too liquid pour, 3 to 4 tablespoons of lemon juice with 250 g of powdered sugar are recommended. The more liquid the pour should be, the more lemon juice has to be added. But be careful: the glaze should not be too liquid, otherwise, it will seep into the cake.

Step:1

The best way to make lemon juice taste fruity and natural is to use the juice of fresh lemon. Halve the lemon and squeeze it out thoroughly with a juicer. Put the powdered sugar in a bowl.

Step:2

Gradually stir 3 to 4 tablespoons of the fresh lemon juice into the powdered sugar. Mix both ingredients with a fork or whisk until a smooth mass with the desired consistency is obtained.

With Protein

If you need a firmer lemon icing for a cake or biscuit, you can alternatively prepare it with protein. To do this, simply whisk the egg white from an egg until stiff, slowly pour in the powdered sugar, and, in the end, stir in your lemon juice. A stable cast is ready!
