Lemon Polish Cake


Hi


Infusing butter with zest of lemon, this is such a perfect blend.  The cake turned out tangy, buttery and bright, perfectly balanced. I really love this cake.  If you are lemon lover, I’m definitely one of them, you absolutely need to make this and it’ll be your new favourite. 


I like cast iron bundt pan as it comes with many pretty design.  But they are too heavy and required care.  Silicone mould will be a better choice for me as it can be rolled and folded easier which make storage effortless.  After doing some research, for food safety purpose, I decided to go for a reliable brand and have chosen Martellato silicone mold which is made in Italy.  


 I love baking this cake for friends and church and have baked many of them.  Simply love it as it gift beautifully when taking it to a friend or gathering.  

HAPPY BAKING!
