Tips for making your smooth lemon cake easy

• The size of the mold recommended: go on 18 to 22 cm max, history to have a moelleux well high. Otherwise, it will be flatter. In general, I work with mussels of this size to have very high cakes.

• If you use this basic recipe to make muffins, you will reduce the cooking time a little, 15 to 20 minutes should be enough, think to plant the blade of a knife in the center of one of the muffins after 15 minutes to control. If the blade comes out dry, without raw dough, your muffins are cooked

• Your cake does not rise? Check that you have not forgotten the baking powder to start  (it happens even to the best lol), if your dough is cold, the heat shock will help to have more swollen cakes, so place your mold filled with the raw dough in the fridge 15 min before baking

• Facilitate the mold release ... Butter and flour your molds, or invest in a mold release spray that is found more and more easily in-store pastry department. Also, why not have a circle of baking paper the size of your mold in the bottom? Remember, do not try to unmold the cake before 10-15 minutes after cooking, it stabilizes

• A frosting for my sweet lemon? With lemon mellow, you will opt for a sugar icing that will come to offset the acidity of lemon (lemon juice and icing sugar or egg white and icing sugar) or chocolate icing: 150 g of dark chocolate + 150 ml whole liquid cream, melt and smooth, leave to rest for 30 minutes before spreading on the cake
