Lemon Custard Cake

A zesty and creamy dessert with layers of fluffy cake and rich custard.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease an 8-inch baking dish and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat egg yolks and sugar until light and fluffy. Add melted butter, flour, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the lemon mixture until just combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Place the dish in a larger pan and fill the outer pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden and the center is set. Let cool before serving.
