Lemon Nectarine Flan

2012-01-29


Not only do I love a tangy lemon cake, but just about any cake with lemon in it. This flan is not a Lemon Cake, but noteworthy as it has a light lemon filling with colorful fresh slices of nectarines.

Crust:
1 1/3 cups Cake and Pastry Flour
1 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup Margarine
3 tbsp cold water

Filling:


LEMON PEEL FRESHLY
PACKED IN LARGE JARS,
spices, herbs, seasonings


2 eggs
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tsp grated lemon rind
1/4 cup margarine
3 - 5 nectarines
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup apricot jam

Crust: Combine flour, sugar and salt in mixing bowl. Cut in margarine until crumbly. Add water, mixing with fork until blended. Gather dough into a smooth ball. Press dough evenly into bottom of sides of 9 inch fluted flan pan. Prick with fork. Chill 30 minutes. Line with a circle of aluminum foil.

Bake in center of oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake 12 to 15 minutes longer, or until light golden. If cracks form, press warm crust gently to seal. Cool on wire rack.

Filling: Beat first 5 ingredients in a saucepan. Add margarine. Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture thickens about 5 minutes. Spread evenly in baked crust.

Cut each nectarine in 3/4 inch slices. Arrange over filling. Spring with 1 tbsp sugar.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes, or until fruit is tender-crisp. Cool. Brush jam over flan to glaze before serving.

Damp Lemon Almond Cake

"Its a very plain lemon cake compared to the complicated layered cakes I used to make. It's a one off thing, just one element, which is the cake itself. The lemon was rather intense but given its a dense and damp almond base, it was just right."

Lavender

2011/10/06


You might think Lavender is a rather odd combo with a lemon, but lavenders are heavenly scented and have many special properties to them; so why not try it out.

Lavender Lemon Cake

2 cups cake flour (8 oz)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 whole egg
1 egg white
5 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp lemon oil
2 tbsp dried lavender


Culinary Lavender 8 oz.


1 cup sugar
1 cup nonfat yogurt
6 tbsp powdered sugar
3 tbsp water
1/4 tsp lemon oil

1. Have all ingredients at room temperature, preheat oven to 350ºF, line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with foil and spray with nonstick spray.
2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the whole egg and egg white together. Set aside.
3. Beat butter for about 1 minute with the lavender (I didn't actually do this, but realized I should have afterwards). Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat on high for about 3 minutes. Dribble eggs in slowly, about 1 tbsp at a time, beating constantly for about 2 minutes. On low speed, beat in a third of the flour mixture. Then add half of the yogurt, and then beat in half of the remaining flour. Last, add the rest of the yogurt, the vanilla, and lemon oil, and beat in the rest of the flour.
4. Scrape into prepared pan. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until knife inserted comes out clean. Cool for 10-15 min on a rack. Meanwhile, whisk powdered sugar, water, and lemon oil together to form a glaze. Unmold the lemon cake, brush the glaze over the top and sides until all glaze is used. Cool, or serve warm, it is good that way too!

Lemon Raspberry Custard Cakes

11-09-01

lemon-raspberry-custard-cake.jpgThe boastful baker decided to tweak a lemon cake recipe, well to be exact a Lemon Custard Cake, from Martha Stewart's recipe book Everyday Food: Great Food Fast. She substituted Meyer lemons for regular lemons and added frozen raspberries instead.

As I love raspberries too I was all over this one. Kudos to the boastful baker!

Spanish Lemon Cake with Lemon Curd Cream and Raspberries

2011/08/19

There's no reason why you can't enjoy good looking food. Berries are naturally pink and pretty and it's delightful how the photo caught the hairiness of the raspberries. The lemon curd oozing under the layers is to die for and it's seriously decadent and delicious!

The basic sponge recipe is doubled to make two layers. The creamy middle is a tub of double cream whipped to stiffness with half a jar of lemon curd folded in. Sweet indeed thus requiring the raspberries to add a little tartness. I'm on my second huge slice...

Lemon and Rosewater-frosted Pistachio and Orange Cake

11/07/05

"The icing on this lemon cake has a strong lemon flavour which is softened by the floral rosewater. A sprinkling of pretty-in-pink sugar crystals and I had a lovely moist cake which I'm sharing with tartlette Helen, and domestic goddess Jennifer, for this month's sugar high Friday which has a citrus theme." ~ eat the right stuff

1-2-3-4 Lemon Cake

"A visually arresting alternative to traditional frosted layer cakes, this 1-2-3-4 lemon cake (so called for its 1 cup of butter, 2 cups of sugar, 3 cups of flour, and 4 eggs) alternates mildly lemon-scented cake layers with rich, thick homemade lemon curd, all topped off with fluffy clouds of whipped cream and a smattering of berries. The ingredient list is heart-stopping, to say the least, and making the lemon curd filling is laborious, but for a special occasion, this cake is a show-stopper. Say what you will about Martha Stewart, but the woman knows how to meld taste and aesthetics with fabulous results.

This is my entry for this month's "Spring is in the air" Monthly Mingle, hosted by Meeta of What's For Lunch Honey?"

Lemon and Lime Curd Cake Recipe

A lovely lemon cake for Easter is the Lemon and Lime Curd Cake Recipe with Fresh Fruit.

Lemon Cloud Cake

Fab Lemon Cloud Cake Recipe is very easy to make and works gluten free too!!! You can also cheat and used a jar of lemon curd. Like a lemon meringue pie, but with a lighter touch.

A roulade is a great dessert when you're looking for a celebratory cake that doesn't require rich frosting or too much heavy filling. The thin sheet cake bakes very quickly and the plain simplicity of the cake means you can fill it with just about any flavored cream you desire. One of the best complementary flavors for tart berries is tart lemon and since berries are looking so good right now, I opted to go with some luscious raspberries and blackberries along with a layer of lemon curd and lemon cream. Presto, a simple and great no fuss gift for any summer table.

Recipe found here: at the Pastry Studio.
