Lemon Cake

Ingredients -
Plain Flour - 1 cup
Corn Flour (optional) - 1 tbsp
Ghee - 4 tbsp
Condensed Milk - 1/2 cup
Lemon zest - 1 tsp
Lemon juice - 1 tsp
Baking powder - 1/2 tsp
Baking soda - 1/2 tsp
Vanilla Essence - 1/2 tsp
Sprite or any other lemon fizzy soda drink - 1/2 cup
6" cake tin or 6 cupcake molds

Process-
Take a mixing bowl and add all the wet ingredients other than soda- Ghee, condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla essence and mix all these together until forms a smooth paste. Now sieve plain flour, corn flour, baking powder and baking soda in a bowl. Start putting this dry ingredient mix into your wet ingredients and keep whisking the batter. Add soda drink to make this batter of pouring consistency. Don't whisk it too much, just make sure all the ingredients are mixed well and there are no lumps in the batter. Now pour this in a greased cake tin and bake it in a preheated oven at 170 degree Celsius for 25-30 minutes.

Tip- You can add yellow food color in the batter. You can sprinkle some crystal sugar on top of the cake before baking, it'll make the top caramelized and crispy.


I loved to use KitchenAid stand mixer for this recipe, it makes mixing and whipping so easy:)






Here are 5 compelling benefits of the KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer KSM195 — perfect for your kitchen. You can use these in your day to day cooking or holiday baking :)

Dual-bowl setup for flexibility
- The KSM195 comes with both a 4.7 L (5 quart) stainless steel bowl and a 2.8 L stainless steel bowl, so you can mix large batters and smaller ingredients in one appliance. I use the large bowl for cake batter and the smaller one for whipping cream—no need for two machines.

- It includes a Pastry Beater, Flex Edge Beater, Dough Hook, and Wire Whip, making it suitable for a variety of tasks: pastry, dough, whipping.

- Smooth 10-speed control for delicate to heavy tasks
With 10 speeds, the mixer handles gentle folding and intense kneading equally well. Whether I’m whipping cream or kneading dough, I just dial the speed and let it go—easy and consistent.

- The KSM195 is built with a zinc-metal body and robust construction that’s made to last. This mixer isn’t just pretty—it’s built to withstand daily use in a busy kitchen.

- Beyond the included accessories, this model supports 10+ optional attachments (pasta roller, spiraliser, meat grinder etc.) giving it long-term value.
