Sunshine Cake With Cloud Topping Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Slice lemons and limes VERY thin(use a mandoline) Do not use the ends, and try to save them to juice, later, for the cake batter.
  • To make the lemons and limes more appetizing and less bitter, for the top, bring a pot of water to a boil, add the slices and boil about 1 minute. Drain immediately and pour them into an ice water bath for about 1 minute. Drain and set aside Please note: They will still be a lil tart, and slightly bitter around the pith(especially the limes...the more white, the more bitter), but even if you don't eat them, they still lend a wonderful flavor and presentation to the cake! :) We ate them! :)
  • Place 1/2 stick butter in a 10 or 12 inch cast iron skillet and place in oven that's preheating to 350.
  • When butter is melted, remove and add the honey and vanilla sugar or raw sugar and vanilla extract.
  • Stir to combine until smooth and even.
  • Arrange the lemon/lime slices over the butter/sugar mixture. Use as many or as few as you want.. overlapping is fine. I will use a few more, next time :)
  • Cream together butter and brown sugar in electric mixer.
  • Add eggs one at at time, beating well in between.
  • Add reserved juice from lemons and limes and mix again.
  • Combine flour, salt and baking powder then add to the batter alternating with the buttermilk until well combined and blended.
  • Pour batter over lemon and lime slices and bake for about 30 minutes, until edges are springy and pulling away a bit, and cake is golden. Toothpick should come out nearly clean, but make sure not to go clear down to the sugary goo, or it will be an inaccurate test. :)
  • Let rest about 5-7 minutes then carefully place serving platter/cake safe base over skillet, and flip to invert cake onto platter.
  • Serve with whipped cream, below.

  • Vanilla Bean Whipped Cream

  • Combine all ingredients in chilled metal bowl of an electric mixer and beat at medium high-high speed until soft peaks form.
