Description

Utterly easy whole lemon blender cake is a truly one bowl recipe for spring!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 Lemons, quartered and seeds removed
  • 1 1/4 cup Sugar (250 g)
  • 2 1/4 cup Flour (280g)
  • 2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1/3 cup (100g) Plain Greek Yogurt
  • Scant 1/2 cup (100ml) Vegetable Oil (between 1/3-1/2 cup)
  • Powdered Sugar for dusting finished cake

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the rack into the middle position.
  2. With a cutting board and knife, cut lemons into quarters. Use your fingers or the tip of a knife to remove any lemon seeds. For this recipe you do not need to peel or zest the lemons – you use the WHOLE THING.
  3. Into the bowl of a food processor, or blender, add in all the ingredients. Blend until nearly smooth, about 1 minute. There will be some very, very small bits of lemon peel you can see, but the rest of the batter should be mostly smooth.
  4. Into the springform pan, that has been sprayed and lined with parchment paper, pour the batter into the middle. Bake in the oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean when placed into the center of the cake. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing.
  5. Dust with powdered sugar when cooled completely. Slice and serve.
