Meskouta is a wonderfully moist yogurt cake that is so easy to prepare—I enjoy watching my daughter devour it after a busy day at school. Feel free to add lime zest instead of lemon if you wish. Use a 10"Bundt panfor this meskouta recipe.

Back to Top光点,只要涉及到柠檬,国际海事组织t's fair to call something "lemon." But responding to your comment specifically, many bakers avoid lemon juice in batters/cookie doughs etc. because juice doesn't actually contribute much actual lemon flavor overall (especially once the batter endures the heat of the oven) - in addition, the liquid and acidity of the juice can alter the chemical balance of the recipe. That's why many lemon recipes call for lemon extract or oil, and/or a "soak" (where you poke small holes in the cake once it emerges from the oven, then brush a lemon juice/sugar solution over the still-warm cake), and/or a glaze made with lemon juice and confectioner's sugar as a finishing touch.

This ended up in the garbage. The batter was gummy I knew the the proportions seemed and off all that baking powder made it taste terrible. Putting rosemary and lemon in a cake is a good idea. I will do that in another cake. I bake a lot and this cake is weird.

Why is this called a Lemon Cake with only lemon zest, but no lemon juice? I did use the juice of one of the 2 Lemons that were zested, which helped pump up the lemon flavor.
