This Very Easy Lemon Cake is a breeze to make, requiring minimal ingredients and effort while delivering maximum taste. Perfect for any occasion, this cake is light, moist, and wonderfully tangy. Here’s how to create a lemon cake that’s as simple as it is scrumptious.

- Versatile: Ideal for a casual family dessert or an elegant occasion with a few easy upgrades.
Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120ml) milk (whole or 2%)
- 1/4 cup (60ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (from 1 large lemon)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon saltFor the Glaze (Optional):
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and let it preheat while you prepare the batter.
- Prepare Your Pan: Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper. This helps ensure that your cake comes out easily.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
- Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. This helps to incorporate the eggs evenly into the batter.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix in Dry Ingredients and Liquids: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Add Lemon Flavor: Fold in the lemon juice and lemon zest until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 3: Bake the Cake
- Pour and Smooth: Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. The cake should be golden brown and spring back when lightly touched.
- Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 4: Prepare the Glaze (Optional)
- Mix the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth. The glaze should be thick but pourable.
- Glaze the Cake: Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top. You can let the glaze drip down the sides for a rustic look or spread it evenly for a smooth finish.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Slice and Serve: Slice the cake and serve as desired. This lemon cake is delicious on its own but pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tips for Success
- Use Fresh Lemons: Freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest provide the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice can be used in a pinch, but it lacks the fresh, vibrant taste.
- Don’t Overmix: Once you combine the dry and wet ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to a dense cake.
- Let It Cool Completely: Allow the cake to cool completely before applying the glaze. This prevents the glaze from melting into the cake.
Variations to Try
- Lemon Blueberry Cake: Fold in 1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries for a fruity twist.
- Lemon Poppy Seed Cake: Add 2 tablespoons of poppy seeds to the batter for a delightful crunch.
- Lemon Glaze with a Twist: Incorporate a teaspoon of vanilla extract into the glaze for an added layer of flavor.

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup hot coffee (or hot water)
1 cup mayonnaise (this is the secret ingredient!)
For the Chocolate Frosting:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extractINSTRUCTIONS:
Preparing the Cake Batter:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, or line them with parchment paper for easy removal.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine, ensuring that all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Incorporate the Secret Ingredient: Stir in the mayonnaise, which adds incredible moisture and richness to the cake without altering the flavor. The mayonnaise is the “deep dark secret” that makes this chocolate cake stand out.
Add Hot Coffee: Gradually stir in the hot coffee (or hot water) into the batter. The batter will be thin, but this is what gives the cake its super moist texture.
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.Making the Chocolate Frosting:

Add Cocoa Powder: Gradually add the unsweetened cocoa powder to the butter, beating until well combined.
Incorporate Powdered Sugar and Milk: Alternately add the powdered sugar and milk to the butter mixture, beating on low speed until fully combined. Continue to beat on medium speed until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
Add Vanilla Extract: Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the frosting.Assembling the Deep Dark Secret Chocolate Cake:
Frost the First Layer: Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of chocolate frosting over the top.
Add the Second Layer: Place the second cake layer on top of the first, aligning it carefully. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Decorate: If desired, you can garnish the cake with chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or fresh berries for an extra touch of elegance.Serving and Enjoying:
This Deep Dark Secret Chocolate Cake is best served at room temperature to allow the flavors to fully develop. The cake is incredibly moist, with a rich chocolate taste that is complemented by the smooth, creamy frosting. It’s the perfect dessert for chocolate lovers, and the secret ingredient ensures that it stays moist for days, if it lasts that long! -
Perfect Vanilla Muffins
Perfect Vanilla Muffins
Table of Contents
Ingredients
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup of granulated sugar
- 2 tsp of baking powder
- 1/2 tsp of salt
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup of milk
- 2 tsp of pure vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
In another bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
-
Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter.
-
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
-
Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ingredient Quality: Using high-quality ingredients, especially pure vanilla extract, will significantly enhance the flavor of your muffins.
Mixing Carefully: When combining wet and dry ingredients, be cautious not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense muffins. Mix until just combined, and a few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine.
Variations: Feel free to customize your Vanilla Muffins by adding chocolate chips, blueberries, chopped nuts, or even a cinnamon sugar topping for extra flavor and texture.
Liners or Greasing: Using paper liners in your muffin tin is convenient and helps prevent sticking. Alternatively, you can grease the muffin cups with butter or cooking spray.
Even Filling: To ensure your muffins bake evenly, try to fill each muffin cup to a consistent level, about two-thirds full.
Checking for Doneness: The best way to determine if your muffins are done is to insert a toothpick into the center of one muffin. If it comes out clean (with no wet batter), they’re ready. If there are a few crumbs clinging to the toothpick, that’s okay; it means they’re moist.
Cooling Time: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents them from becoming too soggy from the residual heat.
Storage: Store leftover Vanilla Muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. You can also freeze them for up to three months.
