Madeira Cake
Servings: 1 small cake
Ingredients
- ¾ c unsalted butter 1 1/2 sticks, room temperature
- ¾ c sugar
- 3 eggs room temperature
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ c self-rising flour
- 1 ½ Tb lemon juice
- 2 Tb milk if needed
- 2 Tb demerera sugar coarse raw
Instructions
- To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease & flour a standard loaf pan, set it aside. (You could also make this in an 8-inch round pan.)
- In your mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until fluffy, about 3 minutes on high speed.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time - mixing each in completely before adding the next.
- Mix in the vanilla.
- Add the flour half at a time, mixing in thoroughly. Be sure to scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula to get it fully mixed.
- Mix in the lemon juice.
- If your batter is very stiff, mix in the milk. The batter should be soft, not heavy.
- Spoon the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top of it with your spatula.
- Sprinkle the demerera sugar over the top of the cake.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the cake tests done in the center with a wooden pick.
- Allow it to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then remove it to a baking rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
