Directions

 

• • Prepare the Lemon Cream Filling
    • • In a saucepan, whisk 1 egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, and milk.
      • Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until thickened.
      • Remove from heat, add butter, stir until smooth, and cover. Let cool.

     
  • Prepare the Cake Batter
    • • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
      • In a bowl, whisk 3 eggs, salt, and sugar until fluffy.

     

    • Gradually add vegetable oil and sour cream, mixing well.
    • Sift in flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth.

 

• • Assemble & Bake
    • • Pour half the batter into a greased baking pan.
      • Spread the cooled lemon cream evenly on top.
      • Pour the remaining batter over the cream.

     

    • Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 35 minutes, until golden brown.
    • Check doneness with a skewer—if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
