Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour two 8-by-2-inch cake pans, tapping out excess flour. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar until light and fluffy. With mixer on low, beat in eggs and yolks, one at a time. Beat in 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Alternately beat in flour mixture and buttermilk beginning and ending with flour mixture; mix just until combined.
- Divide batter between pans; smooth tops. Bake until cakes pull away from sides of pans, 32 to 35 minutes. Let cool in pans 10 minutes. Run a knife around edges of pans and invert cakes onto a wire rack.
- While cakes are baking, bring remaining 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water to a boil in a saucepan. Add lemon slices and simmer 25 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer lemon slices to a waxed-paper-lined plate. Stir remaining 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice into syrup.
- Using a toothpick, poke holes in warm cakes on rack. Brush with lemon syrup. Let cool completely. Prepare frosting, substituting 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice for vanilla extract. Frost cooled cakes and top with candied lemon slices.
LEMON BALM CAKE WITH LEMON SAUCE
I love herbs and lemon balm is one of my favorites and I'm always trying to incorporate fresh herbs into my cooking and baking. I created this cake for a family gathering we had with some of our boys and their wives. It was a huge hit with all and the cake was gone in no time!

Steps:
- 1. Cream together the sugar and butter and then add the egg until blended and creamy.
- 2. Next add the sour cream and baking soda.
- 3. Fold the flour into the creamy mixture. Gently fold in the lemon balm and add the juice of 1 lemon and the rind. Mix and pour into a greased and floured small Bundt pan or a 8 x 8 pan.
- 4. Bake in an oven preheated to 350° for 45 to 50 minutes until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Notes: I grated the rind off the lemon first before cutting it in half to juice it. Also, baking time may vary from one oven to the next. Just keep checking it.
- 5. Lemon Sauce Directions: Cream the butter and sugar until well mixed, add the egg, nutmeg and the juice and rind of the lemon. Beat several minutes and place in a saucepan. Add boiling water and bring sauce just to a boil over low heat. Do not boil!
LEMON BALM CAKE
An old Finnish recipe that produces a delicate, slightly crumbly cake with a lovely, mild lemon flavour. This is the original recipe - I sometimes add 1/2 ts of lemon extract and 1 ts of vanilla for deeper flavour.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
- Make the cake: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar, and salt with an electric hand mixer until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla and beat to combine.
- Add half the flour and beat to combine, then beat in the milk, then add the rest of the flour and beat just until incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula and make sure any floury spots are incorporated.
- Grease a 10-inch (25-cm) bundt pan with nonstick spray. Spoon the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Gently tap the pan against the counter to release any air bubbles.
- Bake the cake for 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, make the lemon glaze: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar and lemon juice. Microwave for 1 minute, stirring halfway through, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Set aside.
- Make the lemon icing: Sift the powdered sugar into a medium bowl. Add the lemon juice and whisk until smooth.
- After the cake is done baking, let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack set over a baking sheet and remove the bundt pan. Use a knife to loosen the cake around the edges, if needed.
- Use a skewer or fork to poke holes all over the top and sides of the cake. Brush the cake with the lemon glaze. If the glaze drips off, let the cake cool for a few more minutes, then continue brushing on the glaze. Let cool completely, at least 1 hour.
- Pour the icing over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Grate lemon zest over the icing. Let the glaze dry completely, about 30 minutes.
- Transfer the cake to a serving platter, slice, and serve.
- Enjoy!
