preparation
-
First preheat the oven to 160 degrees. Break soft butter into small pieces and cream together with the sugar in a mixing bowl. A white cream should form. If so, gradually add the eggs and mix.
-
Now sift the flour into another bowl. Mix in baking powder and a pinch of salt. Fold everything into the butter-sugar-egg mixture until a smooth batter forms.
-
Rinse the organic lemons with warm water. Grate the peel and add to the dough – along with the juice of one lemon. The juice of the other lemon will be used later. Mix the dough well again.
-
Line a baking sheet (approx. 42 x 29 cm) with baking paper and spread the dough on it. Smooth the surface and put everything in the oven on the middle shelf. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes – just do a skewer. When no more dough sticks to the stick, the cake can be taken out of the oven. Let cool well.
-
When the cake has cooled, the frosting can be prepared. To do this, sift the icing sugar into a bowl and mix with 6 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Once you have a smooth, lump-free frosting, spread it over the cake and smooth it down. Garnish the cake with fresh lemon slices and mint leaves as you like – done!
