How to make a flavorful and moist lemon cake: it always turns out fluffy

Moist, flavorful, soft, and fluffy - that's what a perfectly cooked lemon cake is like. In order to make the pastry, it is important to make a good dough - with milk, kefir, or sour cream - and to top the cupcake with syrup or impregnation.

Food blogger Yuliia Mikulich shared a recipe for a lemon cupcake with milk on her Instagram page.

Ingredients:

• butter - 110 g
• sugar - 100 g
• vanilla sugar - 10 tsp.
• citrus peel (the recipe uses clementine peel)
• eggs - 2 pcs
• milk - 60 g
• coconut flakes - 12 g (2 tbsp)
• baking powder - 1.5 tsp
• flour - 150 g

Soaking:

• lemon juice - 25 g

1. Beat soft butter, sugar, vanilla sugar and chopped zest until fluffy and creamy.

3. Add milk and coconut, beat again.

4. Then add baking powder and flour, mix the dough until smooth.

5. Put the dough into the mold and bake the cupcake at 180 degrees for 40-50 minutes. The baking time depends on the shape and size of the cupcake. You can check the readiness with a toothpick.
