Lemon Liqueur Cake

If you love the unique aroma of fresh lemons, this cake is sure to delight you. For our Zitronenlikör we use only fresh organic lemons with their precious zest, which is rich in essential oils. These oils give the liqueur an incomparable flavour and make it something truly special. To craft the lemon liqueur, we macerate the lemons in our own home-distilled wheat spirit to extract the full aroma of the lemon peel. The liqueur is then refined with organic beet sugar and brought to its perfect drinking strength of 18% vol. This delicious lemon liqueur is the ideal base for our Lemon Liqueur Cake – moist, aromatic, and simply irresistible. You simply have to try it and let yourself be enchanted by the unique taste experience it offers!

Cocktail Mostviertler Gruß (Destillerie Farthofer)

Ingredients:

  • 150 g butter, softened

  • 150 g sugar

  • 3 eggs

  • Juice and zest of 2 lemons

  • 60 ml Zitronenlikör

  • 250 g flour

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • Pinch of salt

  • 100 ml whipping cream

  • 150 g icing sugar

  • Candied lemon slices (for decoration)

Preheat the oven to 180 °C top/bottom heat (160 °C fan) and grease a baking tin (approx. 30 x 20 cm). In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time and mix well. Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest and lemon liqueur.

Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl and add to the butter-egg mixture. Mix well, then fold in the whipping cream. Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin and smooth the surface. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20–25 minutes.

Allow the cake to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then carefully remove it and leave to cool completely on a wire rack. Meanwhile, mix the icing sugar with a little lemon juice until a thick glaze forms. Once the cake is completely cool, generously spread with the sugar glaze and decorate with candied lemon slices.

The cake tastes best enjoyed with a small glass of lemon liqueur, of course.
