Light, bright and full of lemony flavor, this simple cake is perfect for any occasion from casual to fancy. Finish it with a light buttercream frosting, or as an alternative, simply top it with freshly whipped cream.
I would like to make your lemon cake, but I want to use to 4 inch cake pans as I am only making it for myself. Can you convert the recipe somehow?
Hi Patti, You could use 6 (4-inch) cake pans then wrap each well in plastic wrap and freeze them for future use. This cake should freeze nicely and a 4-inch cake would defrost rather quickly. Happy baking!
What method should I used when it calls to sift before measuring? Does that mean to sift the whole box of flour into a bowl and then scoop out 3 and ½ cups? Sorry that's sort of confusing for me. Love all the recipes! I made 1-2-3-4 for my very first homemade cake. It was delicious!
Hi Jessica, You don't have to sift the entire box, just enough to measure out to 3 1/2 cups. Just make sure you sift, then measure or you'll end up with too much flour in the batter. Thanks for the great compliment! And for sure the 1-2-3-4 Cake is definitely a Swans Down favorite! Happy baking!
