Lemon Cake ~ Citronmåne

There's a Danish cake called "Citronmåne" - or lemon half moon - or Kopenhagener Torte. It looks like this:

If you cut off half the bottom layer, and eat the rest, then the cake matches the amount of icing.

It's full of fat and artificial flavours, so when I really feel like eating a cake like this, I bake my own version.

ZRS (Zaphira's Recipe Service) presents:

Zaph's Lemon Cake

You'll need:

2 eggs
225 gram white sugar
150 ml low fat milk
25 gram oil
1 lemon, the juice and the grated peel of it
180 gram wheat flour
2 teaspoon baking powder

Icing:
100 gram icing sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Whip the eggs with the sugar till it's fluffy and almost white.

Grate the peel of the lemon, and squeeze the juice out of it. Add both peel and juice to the egg mix. Stir.

Add milk and oil, and whip again.

Mix the flour and the baking powder and add it into the dough. Mix it with a spoon.

Pour it into a baking paper foiled baking tin and bake for 40 minutes at 175 degrees Celcius.

When it's done, take it out of the oven and let it cool.

Make the icing: Mix sugar and lemon juice. Pour it over the cake.

Enjoy. :yum:

Looks yummy.

They have “wannabe cakes” that looks like that in Norway. They look, feel and taste cheap. Yours looks nummy!

That looks really good.

I sometimes bought Dancakes for lunch in Ireland. I don't remembering registering that they were Danish.

Looks way better than that store-bought crap.

Nice chemistry ! I think that teat + milk + lemon don't work, but you worked it out

.... Creamy and tender

Thanks for your comments everybody!

I appreciate them as always.

This is actually one of my favourite cakes, because it's sweet and fresh at the same time. And I absolutely love lemon icing. :yum yum:

That store one looks toxic!

KittyliciousZaphira # Tuesday, August 24, 2010 12:29:45 PM

Toxic for sure, but not as bad as it actually looks. I prefer my own version at any time though. :yum:

kastelanKastelang # Tuesday, August 24, 2010 4:55:30 PM

What a brave new world it would be...
to have all the consumer getting attracted by plastic food just to brainwash them to their own Chefs..

KittyliciousZaphira # Tuesday, August 24, 2010 5:30:40 PM

It's all about money, unfortunately.

kastelanKastelang # Tuesday, August 24, 2010 5:48:43 PM

Its about emancipating yourself and others to prove the motivs of the mainstream!!

FlaRin # Wednesday, August 25, 2010 3:49:06 AM

I'm not sure I understand what we're talking about now....is it about *real* food, or....?? *puzzled*

KittyliciousZaphira # Wednesday, August 25, 2010 4:17:47 AM

I'm talking about food that is pretending to be something it's not.

kastelanKastelang # Wednesday, August 25, 2010 4:49:04 PM

Well the world is a big apple, you won´t find an end.

Youuu say good by, and I, I say hello,

KittyliciousZaphira # Wednesday, August 25, 2010 6:14:56 PM

Thanks a bunch for putting that song into my head.

Mad Scientistqlue # Thursday, August 26, 2010 10:07:54 AM

It must've been there already because it's not in my head.

Makes you wonna stay,hm?

KittyliciousZaphira # Thursday, August 26, 2010 4:45:26 PM

I want another song in my head.... Wait... there's a song that's been spinning around in there for a week now:

'tis the season to be jolly, falalalala lala lala!

FlaRin # Tuesday, November 16, 2010 6:09:55 PM

You're famous!!!

Bud McDonnellfammcdon # Tuesday, November 16, 2010 6:14:22 PM

Well done, Cat!

Spaggyj # Tuesday, November 16, 2010 6:18:20 PM

Hey Kitty, you certainly are famous, see? http://www.cafebabel.co.uk/article/35743/denmark-immigration-df-lemon-half-moon-cake-eid.html

KittyliciousZaphira # Tuesday, November 16, 2010 6:54:32 PM

A mah zing!

Martin K™Aqualion # Tuesday, November 16, 2010 8:38:01 PM

Good thing you left out the secret ingredient in the recipe. You and me both know that it won't really hurt anyone unless they are Furtopians, but even so.

FlaRin # Tuesday, November 16, 2010 11:42:40 PM

the whole world is watching now, to see what happens next

....

...do we get Blueberry and white chocolate cookies or muffins?? That would be fantastic - even Gordon Ramsay himself would get on bended knees and ask forgiveness.....

Personally, I think that any foodie magazine that wanders in here could do worse than requesting Pussy Cat's permission to feature her ZRS recipes maybe once a month - 'real food from the blogosphere' or something - everything here is good, yummy, totally healthy and deliberately designed to be lo-fat - and is tested in real life, not by a panel of experts or TV cooks.

<whispers to Pussy Cat> I am your agent, right??

FlaRin # Thursday, March 17, 2011 10:20:29 AM

I.Want.Cake. And I want.... Zaph's Lemon Cake!!!! I can eat this, there's no Chocolate in it, it looks fantastic...anddd.... <breaks down and sobs>...CAAAAKE!!!

KittyliciousZaphira # Thursday, March 17, 2011 6:18:35 PM

Nothing really happened.

I want cake too! Lots of cake! :yum:

FlaRin # Thursday, March 17, 2011 8:53:05 PM

So - What other flavours might work instead of Lemon? Orange, maybe??

I'm ready to experiment!!

KittyliciousZaphira # Friday, March 18, 2011 5:48:02 AM

Orange would work for sure. Raspberry and white choc, but then it would change the 'concept' of this cake.

FlaRin # Friday, March 18, 2011 8:33:54 AM

Hmmm. I like the original concept, but I think Orange would be delicious. Nice and simple. Raspberry & white choc would, as you say, be a totally different cake. Either Orange or Lemon would satisfy my cake need
