Starbucks Lemon Loaf!
I offer you a very easy and quick icing to decorate your cakes,
cakes or cupcakes with a thin layer of sugar.
Composed of simple ingredients icing sugar and lemon, it sublimates and flavors your cakes.
A few months ago, I tested Bernard’s Assassin. A real killer! So I wanted to try another of his flagship recipes: the ultimate lemon cake.
Well, it was once again a success! The cake is ultra moist, slightly acidic but not too much, so far the best lemon cake I have ever eaten! In his recipe, Bernard insists on the amount of sugar.
I tested the recipe twice, reducing the sugar a little the second time and my daughters and I preferred it. So I give you the 2 quantities, it’s up to you because apparently it depends on taste!
