Ready to make a Lemon Thyme Drizzle Cake? This dessert is a mix of lemon’s tang and the sweet thyme smell. Let’s see what you need and how to make this zesty treat.
Here’s what you need for the cake:
When you have all these, let’s start making the cake.
To get the best flavor and texture, serve Lemon Thyme Drizzle Cake at room temperature. This lets the flavors develop fully and the cake become soft as desired. If made ahead, keep the cake in the fridge. Take it out 20 minutes before serving for the perfect temp without losing freshness.
With any leftovers, refrigerate them for up to 3 days. Make sure the cake stays moist by covering it. A cake container or tight plastic wrap works well for this.
You can also keep the lemon curd and thyme syrup for later use. Lemon curd lasts in the fridge for a month. It’s great for toast, pastries, or pancakes. Thyme syrup, also lasting a month, can sweeten tea or cocktails. This way, nothing tasty in your cake needs to be wasted.
Follow these tips to enjoy your Lemon Thyme Drizzle Cake longer. You’ll keep its lemony and thyme flavors fresh and tasty.
Yes, you can swap regular flour for cake flour if needed. Remember, cake flour makes a lighter and softer cake.
It takes about 45 minutes to prepare this cake. Baking it then takes around 25 to 30 minutes. You should also count cooling and setting time.
Fresh thyme gives the cake the best taste and smell. But if you must, dried thyme can be a replacement. Just know, its taste won’t be as strong.
Yes, you can skip the lemon curd buttercream for a less tart cake. The cake will still be tasty and full of flavor without it.
You can freeze this cake. First, wrap it well in plastic and put it in an airtight container. To serve, thaw in the fridge overnight.
Margarine can change the cake’s taste and feel. It’s best to use butter for the most delicious cake.
Fresh lemons offer a unique taste and tartness. But, if you must, lemon extract is a good stand-in. Just use a little and adjust based on your taste.
