Ingredients
- 4 tbsp butter/margarine (softened)
- 1/2 c sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 c milk
- 1 tsp lemon extract
- 1 3/4 c all-purpose or unbleached flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F.In a large mixing bowl, add butter, sugar, and salt. Cream until well blended. Gradually add egg, milk, and lemon extract. Mix well. Stir in the flour and baking powder and mix until smooth.
Shape dough into cakes as shown in the above picture, and brush with melted butter; you can also sprinkle some sugar on top as well.
Place cakes on lightly greased cookie sheet and bake until a light golden brown (about 15 minutes).
Note that you can make the icing as seen in last week’s photo by mixing 1/2 cup of confectioner’s sugar with 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of water. Rainbow sprinkles are a common addition once the glaze in on the cakes.
