    2 1/4 tsp Baking powder
    2 3/4 tbsp Extra virgin oil
    3 Eggs

    1/2 cup Sugar
    1/2 cup Water

    Candied Lemon

    2 tsp Sugar
    1 tsp Lemon & Turmeric Infused Syrup

  • Directions

    Preheat the oven to 350°F
    Whisk together eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Add olive oil and continue to whisk.
    Separately mix together Healing Lakadong Turmeric baking powder and flour.
    Add in the wet ingredients.
    Gently fold the mixture and combine well with a spatula. Make sure there are no floury dry spots on the sides or bottom of the bowl.
    Add the milk slowly and combine well.
    Zest 2 lemons and add it to the batter.
    Pour batter into a greased and floured baking pan and bake for 25 minutes depending on your pan size. If you use a loaf pan, then you will need 35 minutes cooking time.

  • While the cake cools, make the Syrup
    Combine water, sugar and Healing Lakadong Turmeric in a saucepan in medium heat. Bring it to simmer until syrup reduced by half and has thickened.
    Add fresh lemon juice at this stage preventing the lemon juice from evaporating when heated. Warm slightly and the syrup is ready.

  • Next make candied lemon slices.
    Thinly slice 1 lemon. Heat a pan on medium heat, add sugar and syrup and let it caramelize.
    Add the sliced fresh lemons and coat the caramelized sugar well. Turn the lemon slices to evenly coat both sides. Allow the lemons to caramelize well and let cool.

    Now pull everything together. Make small incisions on the top of the cake and pour syrup over cake evenly. Syrup should get absorbed into the cake.
    Place the candied lemons on top and dust some powdered sugar (optional).
