Come on! 🍋
🍋 For the lemon sponge cake:
6 medium-sized eggs.
260 g sugar.
Mix the mixture for 7-8 minutes until creamy and foamy.
80 ml vegetable oil (odorless).
150 ml milk.
60 ml lemon juice.
1 teaspoon lemon extract (or lemon zest).
360 g wheat flour.
15 g baking powder.
½ teaspoon salt.
Mix well.
Sift half of the dry ingredients.
Mix.
Sift the remaining dry ingredients.
130 ml boiling water.
22 cm diameter baking dish.
Bake in a preheated oven at 170-180 ° C until a skewer comes out clean.
Let cool completely.
🍋 For the lemon cream:
60 ml water + 10 g gelatin.
Mix and let stand for 7-10 minutes.
200 g sugar (adjust the amount of sugar to taste).
10 g cornstarch.
Grated zest of 1 lemon.
A pinch of turmeric.
Mix well.
3 medium eggs.
130 ml lemon juice.
Heat slowly, stirring constantly.
Heat to about 82 °C (the mass will quickly evaporate).
When the cream boils, it will give off an eggy taste and smell! Therefore, I recommend that you pay attention to the temperature!
Remove from heat.
Pour the hot cream through a strainer.
Add gelatin.
Mix thoroughly.
Let cool to about 40–45 °C.
90 g butter.
Mix thoroughly.
Let cool to room temperature.
🍋 For the mousse:
30 ml water + 5 g gelatin.
Let soak for 7-10 minutes.
250 g cream (33–36%).
1 tablespoon powdered sugar.
Dissolve the gelatin in the microwave on pulse mode.
Add to the cream.
Mix thoroughly.
🍋 Let the cake set in the refrigerator for 1.5-2 hours.
For decoration:
250 g of cream (33-36%) + 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar. Lemon zest.
Just look at how delicious the cut is – airy sponge cake, bright lemon layer and light, creamy mousse… This festive dessert looks spectacular and is much easier to make than it seems.
