My Lemon Fiesta Cake recipe is a delicious take on the classic lemon drizzle cake. I love lemon cakes and this one doesn’t disappoint. It gets its lemony flavor from lemon zest and extract. I combine butter, sugar, eggs, flour, baking powder, buttermilk and raisins with the lemon zest & extract to make the cake. While the cake is still hot, I drizzle a sweet, buttery lemon syrup over it and allow it to seep into the freshly baked sponge.
Whenever I make this cake, I use a bundt pan because I love the interesting ring shape of a bundt cake. In general, I find ring-shaped cakes can be very difficult to frost so the drizzle glaze I use in this one is perfect! As the name fiesta cake suggests, it is a great party cake. And I’ve made this cake for parties, coffee mornings and bake sales. Everyone who tried it loves it! I’m sure you will too.
To make Lemon Fiesta Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 325 °F. Lightly grease and flour a bundt pan.
Mix the butter and sugar together in a bowl until they are creamed and fluffy.
Crack each egg into the creamed butter and sugar one at a time - beat well after you add each egg.
Incorporate the zest.
Mix flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder together in a separate bowl.
Add some flour mixture and mix together, followed by some buttermilk. Repeat until
both ingredients are used up.
Add lemon extract and raisins and stir to ensure they are incorporated evenly.
Put the cake mixture in the prepared bundt pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake for 50 minutes.
In a saucepan, melt the butter with the sugar and water. Add the lemon juice.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Once it has cooled slightly, turn it out onto a serving plate. When it is still hot, prick the cake all over with a skewer or toothpick and pour on lemon topping.
Allow to cool and serve with a cup of your favorite tea or coffee.
