  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 5 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter (at room temperature)
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • zest of 3 lemons
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F degrees. Set Fluted bon Mold on Perforated Baking Sheet and set aside. (You can also use the Spiral bon Mold & bon Bite Tray if you prefer).
  • In Stainless Mixing Bowl sift flour, baking powder & salt and set aside.
  • In stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream together butter, sugar & lemon zest for approx. 2 minutes until well combined. Add eggs one at a time and combine well between each addition and scrape down the bowl at least once. Turn the mixer on low and slowly add ½ of the flour mixture and mix until combined. Slowly add the milk & vanilla until combined. Add the remaining flour and mix until combined.
  • Pour or spoon batter into Flexipan of choice. Bake for approx. 40 minutes or until cake is cooked through.

Remove from oven and let cool before removing from Flexipan.
